Been using a Salifert Nitrate kit for a bit now. Calibrated it with a known sample and it was dead on. Not as easy to read as Lamotte, but 1/2 the price. Also if you have questions about them they sponsor Reef Central so ther is a foum, the owner is quite forthright about answering any and all questions.

Yep, Dutch, Made in Holland

Box has contact info on it as well a phone #.

LFS sells them, so I have a place to turn to if there is an issue.

IMHO the kit not as nice as Lamotte's. So folks will say their $1.99 kit gave same results as the Lamotte so why spend the money. Consistancy, thats why, the Lamotte will give same results batch to batch where the el cheapo special may and usually does vary batch to batch.
