Who makes a good multi-test kit
I need to replenish my basic test kit. i was looking for a kit that has at least nitrate, nitrite, amonia.
I was looking at this kit: http://www.marinedepot.com/Tropic_Ma...FITKSI-vi.html Has anyone ever used this?

API makes a "Saltwater Master Test Kit" that's just a shade over $20. It works well enough.

I would like to know if this test is good too since I am in the market for buying tests before I start my tank.

I tried the API before, i didnt care for it too much.
Tha last test kit i had was Aquarium systems FastTest I liked this one, but its hard for me to distinguish the nitrates. The tropic marine looks nice and it comes with a good amount of tests. Except ph would be a waste for me since i have a ph probe.

I also had the API Master Test Kit and was not a fan. I was recently in the same situation and could not find a multi test that I was happy with. I ended up ordering all 'Salifert' individual kits. Much more expensive but I actually trust the results Im getting.

hmm, yea I use salifert and Lammont for calcium and DKH. I need a good phosphate kit too. Its hard to drop over 100 bucks on individual kits.
