I 'm getting ready to set up a new reef tank (with dry rock) and was wondering what type of inexpensive "master reef or saltwater test kit" you would recommend (unfortunately, emphasis on inexpensive).

Thanks and I hope everyone has a GREAT thanksgiving! :)

The API test kits are what a lot of people use unfortunately there not as accurate as other test kits but get the job done at first..

I agree with above, once your cycled and have added corals, I'd say step it up to a better set of test kits. I like salifert. You can find them reasonably priced online 13-20$

Thanks so much everyone! I thought that would probably be the answer. I wonder if anyone has compared the API kits to Salifert etc. I might ask that as a post.

Thanks again!
