Test Kit

[1990jpyj]

ok i am in need of a new test kit. i bought a cheapo a few weeks ago and im really not liking it. so what i would like to know is what type should i look for. i would like it to really be a kit if possible. i dont need the top-of-the-line kit but i would like it to be very accurate.
thank you

api makes a good test kit

ok thanks i will look into that. anybody have any other recomendations?

Salifert makes great test kits. They are a little expensive though.

I would say that salifert is number one... and then api is a very close second to number one...

i have the api right now and it was ok. so i think im gonna look into the sulf.

Most people that use the API kits find them very unreliable. I use the Hagen Master test kit. Good kit.

the kit i have from api is so hard to really figure out what the reading is sometimes. that is why i would like to get a good kit.

Salifert hands down. No second guessing.

pH, Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, Alk, Magnesium, Calcium and Phosphate are all of the kits that you should get.

Actually the #1 brand is ELOS, it is a little bit more, but it will be the most accurate
