Copper Test Kit Recommendation

[Domboski]

I just tried testing my copper with a Seachem MultiTest Kit and I guess it no longer works. I got nothing with the copper reference liquid and nothing from the tank water I just treated.

I need to buy a kit but thought I'd ask for some recos first. Which brand do you recommend?

Thanks!

Dom

If you're going to treat a lot of fish in the future I would spend the extra $$$ and get a Lamotte copper test kit.

That sucker is expensive but looks awesome. Thanks Mike. I'll get one of those in the future but I'm planning on a June 1st move so I need to watch how much money I spend. I'm willing to spend up to $100.

Any other suggestions?

The last time I checked the Lamotte kits was in $60-$80 range. I would get either the Salifert or Fastest Kit, either of them will give you good results.

I ran a quick google search and the one I saw was $400 :lol2:

Would you mind posting a link to the Lamotte product you are talking about?

They make a lot of different test, some high end, which is what you may have found.

Here is a picture of what the kit looks like:

ThatFishPlace & Marine Depot use to carry it also, not sure if they still do.

Ok so I bought a Salifert test yesterday so I have something for now and also ordered the lamotte test Mike recommended.

Thanks for the help Mike!
