Agree. The Red Sea Foundaton Pro kit is great for the money.... gives you good, easy to use alk, calc, mag tests. The Red Sea Algae control kit is OK... the nitrate test isn't bad, but the phosphate test can be very difficult to discern between the subtle colors. It's good enough to tell when you're too high & need a pwc, but the lower "borderline" colors can be a real PITA to read. I plan on picking up a Hanna checker for the phos sometime in the near future.
