Nitrate test kit

[BCooksey]

Who makes a good nitrate test kit. Tonight I tested my 25g FMWLR with the dry-tab kit. It read 0. Somewhat shocked I used the mini lab test. It showed 20 p.p.m. the tank is still somewhat new so I expect they will be up a little bit. Everything else is not bad.
PH-8.2
Alk-3.2
Ca-350
SG-1.023
Thanks,
Bryan

Most test kits have an expiration date on them....so that is one thing to check.

I use almost all SeaChem tests...but that's because I dose with SeaChem products primarily. For nitrate it doesn't matter much, but for things like calcium, you should test with a kit from the manufacturer of the dosed product.

Just some info.

Salifert or Lamont. Lamont being the best and Salifert being a less expensive second.
