Test kits

Odysi · 03/08/2014, 04:19 PM

Hey guys just wondering which test kits are recommended? I used API during my cycle, just wondering if other are better. I have Salifert for my KH, but would like to get Phosphate, Cal and Mag as well. My tank will be fish only for the first 6 months til i can get better lighting.

I have used both elos and salifert for kh, ca, mg, and po4. Both have given good, consistent results.
