Best test kits
 

In your opinion, what is the best brand of test kit?

I use Hagen for Ammonia and Nitrate, and Salifert for Calcium, Magnesium, Alk, and Phosphate. Seems to do the trick for me.

Salifert and Elos (IMO)

Not sure of accuracy but been going back and forward between Salifert and Elos due availability. Prefer Salifert for use.

I prefer Elos then Salifert and API is one of my favour but not listed

My vote goes to salifert, but I also have not tried elos or master.

A while back I would have said salifert because it is a bit chearper than elos, but ever since that big sorta fiasco with salifert, my faith in their kits has been shaken.

Yeah..thats why i grabbed all my elos kits...well one api but i needed a kit and it was all i could find last minute.

I use API, for amm, ph, trate, trite and instant ocean for ca and Alk....but I have nothing to compare it too. I'd like to bring some water into J&L next time for testing to see if my params are really as good as they say they are.

i like salifert's nitrate kit. for everything else I like elos. for ammonia I use API because I find it goes low enough. I only test ammonia when quarantining anyways.
