Recommend Water Test Kit

I just recently cycled a NanaCube 28g HQI.....

Can someone please recommend a good water testing kit.

I currently have the API 5 in 1 test strips which measures ph, nitrite, nitrate, Carbonate and General Hardness.

is there a chart on RC to show what i should test for and parameters where my water should be?????
