Salifert Calcium Test Kit

Calcium is a major constituent of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft/leather corals. Calcium also fulfills many biological functions. Quite often a too low calcium concentration retards coral and calcareous algae growth. NSW contains 400 – 450 mg/L calcium. Which is also the value we should strive for.

Salifert KH/Alkalinity Kit  

Calcium alone cannot form the skeletal material of corals and allow calcareous algae to grow. A few other constituents are carbonate and bicarbonate. These two substances also have a major impact on the stabilization of the pH in the proper range of 8.1 – 8.4.  NSW has an alkalinity of approx. 2.7 meq/L or approx. 7.5 dKH when expressed as carbonate hardness. For a stable system the alkalinity or carbonate hardness should have a value similar to NSW or slightly higher.


 


Elos Aqua Test Kits

In order to maintain good water quality, a range of test kits that offers accuracy, consistency and support is an integral part of a successful aquarium. Elos Aqua Test Kits are designed, manufactured and tested to standards that are unparalleled in this industry. All Elos Aqua Test kits provide the following:

Calibrated droppers. Our bottles are designed to provide a consistent drop size, which is a key element in testing, regardless of who is squeezing the bottle the drop remains consistent. Many less expensive brands will rely on the cheapest possible bottles, syringes and tips that can easily skew the test results.

While all chemicals should be considered dangerous and handled accordingly, Elos uses the highest quality reagents that are non-toxic. All Elos boxes, instructions and reagents are clearly labeled along with childproof packaging that amazingly is not found in some of our competitors who base their kits largely on toxic chemicals! Of course, it is more costly to use such a high grade of reagents, use proper packaging and labels but we feel it is necessary. In some kits you will even notice a raised label for people who are vision impaired.

Validation of each Reagent batch using NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) certified samples. While some may claim to use, “lab quality components” in their kits, Elos validates each batch of reagents using these NIST certified samples.

Batch testing the results of our Marine kits that enter the USA using an Independent Sea Water lab to further ensure we are providing a reliable kit is also done.

All chemical test kits are susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures and Elos carefully ships and stores our test kits before they ship to the retailer or final customer. This is a vital step that often is neglected.

Written and illustrated instructions along with professionally calibrated color charts (when needed) make it easy to use the kit correctly from beginners to experts.

Expiration dates, batch and lot numbers in every kit and every reagent to allow us to carefully track and when needed, assist customers with questions about their kit.

When purchasing your next kit compare our track record of reliability, consistency and support with any other test kit range on the market and you will see that no testing kit company compares. The Elos Aqua Test Kit range is truly, “a lab quality kit designed for the hobbyist”.
