help on what test kit

[reefcrazy81]

what are the best test kits to use and has anyone used mardel test strips if so how u like them

i've never heard of mardel, but if you want reliability,accuracy & simpleness go with salifer test kits.(the best imo) also there's api,seachem,lamotte.

I switched to Salifert's and Seachem. Be careful with the Mardel 5-in-1 test strips. It gave me incorrect pH values.

thanks alot does salfert make a master kit and if so what one to get?

 

[ridomart]

Salifert's, vary accurate

 

[aztec reef]

i don't think they have masters..your'e gonna have to buy the individual ones, start with the most important like:ammonia,nitrates,,nitrites,ph,calcium alk & phosphates. in that order..
