Good morning everyone,

In addition to wanting to keep a more rigorous water parameter chart I'm also battling a Nitrate problem.

I'd like to do daily tests on some the parameters and want to make it fast and easy (and still accurate).

1. Are there any instant/fast Nitrate testing kits/tools?
2. Are there any instant/fast testing kits/tools for the other parameters?

My GHL Profilux4 currently has Temp/pH/Redox/Conduct, so those are taken care of.

Are there any instant read/method or at least fast method testing kits/tools to make my testing process easier and less time consuming? I currently use the API test kits. I'm fine spend a few hundred dollars if need be.

Thanks!

The fastest nitrate test are test strips. Takes about 30 seconds. But isnt very clear how much there is.

Good Evening,

Scratch off test strips and fast, they are not accurate.

If you want to get serious (accurate readings) with your nitrates, then buy NYOS or the Salifert nitrate test kit.
 

How much do you care about having a display FREE of wires, pumps and equipment?
