Test kit works well. Easy to use once you read the directions. I dropped one star because the kit comes in a plastic box that once you open it, you will never get all the pieces back in and have it close properly. I'm not sure why they even include the box really. The titration tool it too tall for the box to close unless everything is lined up perfectly. Basically, you just have to get another bigger box to put everything in. There are a fair number of pieces and bottles and charts so you will want something to make sure you don't lose something. If you like doing a puzzle every time you use it, it might be fine, but otherwise is frustrating as it is just about a half an inch too short to close properly.

I prefer the Titration Method provided by the equipment in this kit. The drops are more accurate, and it's much clearer to read and accurately use.

Fairly easy to use even though its a bit time consuming to do the tests. Does produce repeatable results so seems to be accurate.

They can send it to you ok. But they won’t return due to the same chemicals being unsafe for transportation that was ok for them to send. This test kit leaked all over inside the box. I lost one full bottle making it unusable. I hate that I bought this. I for one did not have the money to waste on this kit. Tried one other test and it is so inaccurate and difficult to use. Just say no.

As reef hobbiest test kits are extremely important.The red sea reef foundation is great and accurate.The 3 tests come in a convenient plastic box to house all the testers. Keeps them organized and prevents light getting to the titrations which can effect the results.Very easy to use with detailed instructions.

Ive read the reviews for people saying this is a complicated to use kit. I would have to disagree when compared to other kits. There are some that are easier but they arent as accurate. The Mg test can be a little tedious however, once in line it only needs to be checked on a biweekly to monthly basis (i do monthly). The Ca and Alk are both easy and quick to perform. I checked the Alk test against my Hanna and it read within .1 dKh difference. I would assume it is accurate. I also use a calculator to determine how much Calcium I needed to raise my aquarium to the correct levels. I tested before and a few hours after adding my 2 part and the amount I added brought calcuim to the exact target I was shooting for. The CA test seem to be accurate. I will be at some point ordering the Hanna Calcium test to do a comparison and I will update this review when I do so. I am very happy with the kit and I really like the little extras that come with it. I really like the titrator extension and how easy it makes it to add the titration mixture of the test fluid.

Red Sea has done a great job of packaging a test kit where you feel the product equals the cost. Let me explain.1. The case is nice hard plastic2. The titrator makes testing easy3. Color coordination delineates between each test and reduces the likelihood of cross contamination.4. Test equipment like containers are glass.Red Sea also has made testing clear and easy to complete. There are several utube videos that provide consise instruction along with manual and visual cards that make anyone comfortable using this test kit. Some advice for new users.1. Clean clean clean you syringes and test containers with RO water( no soap) each and everytime you put away your kit and between each test.2. Take your time and read instructions and watch videos until you have some confidence you know what you are doing.3. Rinse each container in the salt water you are testing when you are ready to test.4. Most IMPORTANT, take your time and measure each full drop. You dont want to push through too quickly and miss your color change.I recommend without reservation this test kit. Yes it is higher priced but for the difference you will be wishing you brought this kit first because you know you will trying to save money. The Titrator on its own makes testing that much easier.

RED SEA very good product.At first a little reading and understanding as their use. NO is very easy ... you need patience and understanding. For l amount of criticism I've read: many people do not know how to use or simply not read the instructions. Already today: after almost five reading TEST of each: excellent and very good .. I checked with other TEST (API SEACHEM) and are very even. The material is very good briefcase; Sturdy appropriate, arrived quickly, very good price relationship.It is a very good product for REEF aquarium. If you are a keen aquarist should have the equipment on hand. I have NO complaints

The Red Sea Reef Foundation Test Kit for Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium I rated just okay because of the small container you have to try and put all of the test equipment back in the black plastic housing, which is always a pain. The accuracy of the calcium test is questionable because you have to use a powder with a small measuring scoop to mix in when performing a test. I could easily see room for error when taking a scoop of powder, no notes in instructions, like amount of weight for measuring powder.The rest of the tests go relatively easy. They seem to be little more thorough than the other quicker drop testers like API has, but it is a lot easier to identify your results because of the color changes to signify the end of testing. They also have a fairly large range to fit your results and identify what mark your tests hit.
