I am currently using quick dip and I an not very happy with it. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have a reef system and I am also looking for iodine and phosphate test. I am also looking for Iodine supplement.

Salifert test kits are well known for their accuracy.

Hach also makes a very good phosphate kit.

Seachem and Salifert make the only iodine kits. Measuring iodine is tricky as there are several forms and not all kits test for all forms.

Here's an article on iodine, including a discussion of such issues:
