I have 4 tanks...and the API Master Test Kit that most of us seem to use (which would amount to a LOT of people and sales)...so when I set up 'shop' I test all 4 tanks at once...otherwise I'd be there forever, testing each parametre separately for each tank...so it's a bit of a chemistry session when I do it..
...but the packaging sucks, in my opinion...as far as ease of testing goes...
...that huge top with the little tray for the bottles and test tubes isn't helpful...the spaces to hold the test tubes are too close together...everytime I open the kit...the instruction manual goes flying...it doesn't come with an eye dropper...the lids for test tubes don't have a storage area (and you can't put them on the test tubes to store, if you want the water from rinsing them to dry out...
So I called API - very nice guy on the phone...and requested that they design a better 'lab'...I'd be willing to pay a bit extra for one...anyone else?
...and yes...I could find a test tube holder somewhere...that may fit...and I could likely buy an eye-dropper...and DIY...but I don't want to...I want to buy a nifty little 'lab'...it really wouldn't take much at all on their part...
