I just bought my first non-test-strip test kit, because they didn't have cheap test strips for calcium levels (Nitrite/Nitrate/pH/Hardness (freshwater)/alkalinity strips are $12 to $15, compared to $70 for the chemical test kit for the same tests), and I realized all that came with it was a 0.5oz bottle of "ethanol absolute", and a 0.85oz bottle of sodium hydroxide (And some of their own calcium additive).
I was wondering if I could find out what chemicals are used in other tests (Ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH, alkalinity, phosphates, etc), and buy them from some chemical supply website for a cheaper price, and find the instructions for each test kit online
