Test kit question

[John_A]

I'm looking to buy some test kits I'm not wanting to buy any Hanna testers so what do you guys like and your recommendations

 

[Matt Bravo]

I like salifert and nyos, good kits imo

Folks recommendations are likely to depend in the parameter. What do you want to measure?

For phosphate, a critical test, only the Hanna appears to be able to discern the change in colour.

Others can be Salifert, Nyos Aquaforest, where it’s fairly easy to see the colour.

The basics ph,alk, nitrates, phosphate etc

I use a Hanna for phosphate, Salifert for nitrate, Red Sea for calcium, API for KH, and an Apex for pH. If I didn't have a controller, I probably wouldn't measure pH.
