Arrow test kit

I'm looking for a brand of test kit. I realize this could turn into a debate. Could you give me good brands or the brands to avoid.

The brand I use a lot of other people use on RC is Salifert. They are readily available and very good test kits. They are also an RC sponser.

Others that I have used do seem to be as accurate or easy to use. Go to the Salifert forum and you can get more information.

Regards,

Pat

Salifert is pretty pricey but good. API is also good for 1/4 the price. I have Salifert calicum test and API calicum, I get the same reading from both.

I like my Marine Basic SeaChem kit. Easy to use, but very consistent and accurate.
