I picked Elos, as I have more of those than Salifert, but use both.

You missed Hanna on the poll. I know it's covered under "Other", but it's a forerunner too.

Me too. I also use Hanna for phosphorus and alkalinity. I prefer elos over Salifert, but Salifert is more available, so I'm forced into Salifert often.

I left Hanna off on purpose, I considered it a meter rather than a brand of test kit. The poll asks for most popular (of your individual collection) of kit. I doubt more than one or two people have a full compliment of Hanna meters.

For me, I have mostly Elos, maybe a Salifert, so I picked Elos at the major brand in my setup

I also have an API for NH3, I find it quick and easy, and only need a yes/no value from it.
