Do the Salifert kits. Reliable and accurate. Can't be beat.

Salifert is the best IMO!!! There have been several times that I thought the results had to be wrong, & once because of conflict with another brand..... without going into a long story I confirmed in each of those cases that Salifert was indeed correct!

What are you testing for? Salifert is the best general answer for the most important things like Ca, dKH, Mg but I've had better luck with Seachem MultiTest for iodide (that kit includes phosphate and silicate).
