Test kit?

[subman]

I need a new test kit and was wondering what everyone uses. Hopefully moderately priced :lol:

i use the api brand it sucks cause bein partly color blind and the test colors are to close to each other you cant really tell so everything is 8.2 ish or 1.0ish maybe 2. argghh lol

yep that's what I'm replacing! :mrgreen:

Started the hobby with Hagen but moved to Salifert and Elos. Not sure if more accurate but find easier to read. For pH just got a meter.

Ok then I still have my api kit so if I added a test at a time what is the best place to start?

pH test kits aren't very accurate...best to use a meter for that. Salifert and Elos are the only ones I would spend money on. Salifert for alkalinity, either for the rest.

Although I would like to use a KZ Potassium kit, but not willing to pay the $40 for an apparently really difficult test to read. :lol:

As for which kits to replace first, do you have a FO or reef tank?
