Default Test kits

What is the most reliable test kits? I am currently using Hagen's for KH/GH ( as well as my other tests) . I did 3 tests within a 1/2 hour and got different reads each time Thanks for your input.

I have a FasTest alkalinity test kit and it gets the job done. Salifert is another good brand. The only good thing about the hagen test kits is that the box and plastic bottle are accepted at the local recycling plants

Hagens aren't known for thier accuracy.

I would recommend Salifert for testing your Calcium and Alkalinity. They are reliable kits.
