Test kit question

[blackbarracuda]

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the most accurate brand of test kits are? thanks

the most expensive. (seriously) cheap test kits are cheap and tend to be less accurate (not always but...) salifert is a good brand but I hear some of their test kits are like rocket science to use. I personnally use hagan.

is hagan complicated at all? I've used red sea but I haven't heard of anyone recommending them or anything. also I have a couple of salifert test but those were a bit confusing and complicated. thanks

I switched from API to Salifert---much easier to use (color changes are easier to read)
Lamotte is very acurate but REALLY expensive.
Problem with Salifert is availability---the vendors seem to be out of stock a lot, but looking around the net will find it.

ok well maybe i will stick with salifert then because that is what them seem to carry it at most of the lfs's around me. it seemed a little confusing but i did use it last a while ago so maybe i will understand it a little more now that i am more experiened. thanks
