I have a api kit. Got it super cheap. Not a fan. Color codes are hard to read. Plus my Seachem badge in my tank is yellow but the api kit showed .25ish. That is a huge difference. Api shows nitrites at 0 and nitrates a tad softer than 40 ppm. I would like a kit that is easier to read and more accurate. I wish they digital kits.

What is everyone me recommendation? My lfs has Seachem and api tests available. I can also order online for other recommendations.

I like the Nyos nitrate and phosphate and use Hanna Checkers as well. Reliability is most important as you know.
