What is the best water testing kit?

Im currently using test strips from Quick Dip and they are fine for my little FO tank but I need something more accurate for the reef.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Also, I am making a refugium while my tank is cycling, am I gonna have a mini cycle once I install the sump?

Elos. Not cheap, but excellent.

LaMotte are also very good. I got burned one to many times with Salifert so I switched to LaMotte for now and will go over to Elos when they are available at Marinedepot (may be now, havent looked).
