Looking for suggestions on test kits for Calcium. I use combo of Hanna and Salifert. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance
 
Well the 2 you have are pretty darn good. Why change? I guess I could offer up red sea as an OK one.

I’m not testing for Calcium right now. I pick and choose. Hanna is salinity phosphate dkH. Salifert pH NH3, NO2 NO3
 
Well I have used salifert in the past. No complaints. But now days I use red sea because they make those handy combo kits. I save a few dollars.

Hanna for phos and alk (alk as a backup to red sea to confirm).
 
I’ve had good luck with all the Red Sea kits. That is to say besides the magnesium test. I’m not sure but to me the color change on the mag is hard to detect for me. All the other Red Sea kits , including calcium which is what you actually asked about, I would recommend.
