[tom130691]

There has to be a cheaper source of these tubes for the hobbyist - that's a lot of money! My cat seems to like stealing the lids overnight so I'm down to 2 lids.

I've still not worked out the chemistry of all the tests, but I think they are designed for 5ml plus or minus a fair bit, so even using a syringe to dose into a capped specimen tube with reasonable optical clarity should do...

BTW, 5 tests? Surely you only do 4 - ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and one of the pHs?

I was down to 2 because they always seem to find the ground and that was between two test kits. I had to by an ammonia replacement cause ran out and didn't need any of the others I got a tube with that so I'm up to three. You might look at ebay or a place that sells chemistry stuff might be able to get a good deal there. If you still in school or know someone who is and if you have a chemistry lab you could see if they have some.
