i agree salifert is good for nitrate and ammonia, i have to say though ammonia tests need patience, the tests always seem inconclusive, the vial clouds and you have to assume that the result is 0 because it looks nothing like the colours on the colour charts, the nitrate tests are easy and accurate and i agree with erbio that salifert is good for tests
