Newbee Test Kits

Who makes the best test kits to get?

I'm interested in hearing about ease of use and economy vs accuracy.

Are there any to stay away from?

Check out the chemistry forum (Boomer always has alot of useful advice). There is alot of information in there.

Over the years I have used many test kits --- these are the cheap quick picks I use for everyday use.

They do not compare to Lab grade. I have one exception and use Seachem ReefStatus Magnesium test kit for my Mag test as I have found over the years it is not Calcium but Mag that concerns me.

API --- cheap KH Carbonatd Hardness test kit --- API --- Calcium test kit --- API -- High range PH test kit.

API is ok, some will say otherwise. Elom (SP?) Salifert, and Seachem are really good kits but very expensive.

The api test kits are the best. And rather cheap.
