Favorite non hanna nitrate test kits

Seeing a lot more test kits on the market now and wondering if any are actually accurate and easy to interpret. was looking at the tropic marin, and aquaforest specifically but wanted to see others opinions and suggestions

I use Nyos test kits for N03, P04 and Cal. Salifert for KH.

i used the nyos when running ulns but it wasnt the easiest to read then. might be easier now that i run higher nitrates so good suggestion there. do you find it easy to interpret? what nitrate levels do you run.
i use red sea pro for alk and calcium, salifert for magnesium, and i have to use hanna for po4 because otherwise that one was always impossible for me to read regardless of test kit. was using salifert for nitrate as well but it isnt great

Very easy to read. Much more than Salifert kits in my book. I run around 10 N03 and around .1 P04. The Salifert kit for KH is easy but that ones a no brainer with color changing from Blue/green to orange/red.

definitely agree with salifert kh i just use red sea pro kh as it is only 1 step instead of 2 and im lazy lol
