SeaTest and FasTest gonzo?

[Moe_K]

I used to like using the SeaTest and FasTest test kits. They were cheap, easy to use, and accurate enough for me.
I need refills for my ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and calcium tests. I was also going to pick up their alk test because it was so easy.
I did some poking around the internet, and it looks like nobody carries these lines anymore. Have they stopped making these tests?

I don't know if they are still made or not, but last time I was in TI had refills for at least some of those tests.

not sure if they re-formulated or not but they are now called instant ocean test kits.
marine depot has the refills http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_test_kits_aquarium_systems_instant_ocean.asp?CartId=

I switched to salifert once I realized I didn't have to count drops anymore.
I think test for test they are cheaper too

Saw that. They look like dipstick tests now. Maybe I'm wrong? Dipsticks were very unreliable. I ain't going to switch.

Info here, You might have to email them. The tests look the same as far as the vial and stuff. I used them for years

Looks like I'm wrong. The Instant Ocean test kits are pretty much the same as the ol' SeaTest and FasTest kits.

I have been using the IO test kits. They are not dip stick!

it would probably be cheaper to buy the LaMotte master test kit

i don't think they make them anymore due to the fact they only came with reagent for like only 20 tests..not sure how that was cheap?
