Looked all over internet, cannot find out where I can get glass replacement tubes for the API water testing kit. While rinsing them out after doing tests, I dropped two onto the floor....It really bites! The local stores all said to look online, but I haven't found any. Does anyone know where I can get them from? Tia. :) I even checked at 'Hobby Lobby', and other hobby stores, no luck.
 
I looked all over too. Know what I got instead? A bunch of small craft tubes. I measured out 5ml of water and marked them all on 3 sides with a sharpie.

Think I found them at michaels. It was a pack of 9 or so smallers that I use and 6 or so largers. They were clear and had plastic toppers. In the paint section.
 
Thanks muffywrx! I'll try them. I had looked before, by the kids science kit stuff, but didn't ask anyone for them. I probably should have. I will go there tonight and look for them. Would it be in with the 'student art supplies' for paint stuff? I don't go to that store very much. Kind of expensive usually. But if they have them, I'm going to stock up! I'm not known for being 'graceful!*Do you remember about how much they cost?, not that it really matters, I have to buy some either way.
 
*Celticdragon = I did, they don't sell only the glass test tubes that are used in their water testing kits.
 
Thanks again, will try that web site too. Looks like they have tons of replacement things for many products on there. Going to spend a while browsing through all their stuff!
 
You can always buy glass test tubes with the rounded bottoms, and just get a holder for them.
 
This is odd to me. We have a ton of spare tubes at the store and we sell them regularly to people when they break their own. I think it is something like a dollar a tube.
