Steve,

 

I'm currently using them. I've enrolled in their monthly services for a year. They provide you with a reasonable detail of the results. As a newbie, tank has been up for just over 2 months, I wanted an independent look into my water quality. They send you the results via email within about four working days. I sent them my last samples on Thusday evening and would expect those results back to me by either Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

If you would like to see a copy of my last/first results please let me know and I'll email to you.

 

When I registered for the service they sent me 4 pre-paid mailers. Each mailer has two plastic bottles for your water and the packaging is excellent.

 

I intend on going to the Acquarium Co social today and will bring one of the mailers with me should you go and want to see one.

 

Let me know if you have any further question and I'll see if I can answer them.

Ron,

 

How did the results you received from them compare to the results you achieved with your test kits? What kind of test kits do you use?

Cliff,

 

I only have the basic Salifert Amoninia, Nitrate, Nitrite and PH test kits. My readings were negligible and AWT confirmed this.

It would be interesting to compare the calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, phosphate & nitrate kits to the results you receive from Aquarium Water Testing. If I were closer I would bring my kits over to just compare the results.

Thanks for the offer. I will not be at the social since I have to work. I have seen the results charts then send and they look good. I was just wondering how it all compared with the "usual" tests kits we use but that was already asked. I am considering using the Reference Kit they have just to see how it matches up.

Best of luck to you and hope that it works for out.
