Test kits ?

[Jason mack]

Hello fellow Reefers ,
When I first started just over a year ago I took the advice from my LFS over test kits ,
I live in Holland , and was told the best test kits were either from JBL ,Colombo , saliferts... but they were all basically the same , what It comes down too is price and preferences. Since one of my lFS uses JBL and the other uses Colombo , these are what I went with
NH4.... JBL
Po4...... JBL
NO2..... JBL
NO3 ..... Colombo
ALK .... Colombo
Calc ......Colombo
Mag .....Colombo

Now after being on this forum for a few months and hearing people say that RedSea Pro and saliferts tests are more reliable I've decided to switch over , my question is which test kit for which e.g. No3 redsea pro or saliferts ? Etc etc so if anybody could give me a run down , no2 , no3 , calc, mag , po4 , alk ...it would be much appreciated
Thanks Mack !

I use straight Red Sea. No issues in 2 1/2 years.

I use red Sea and feel it's reliable. I checked with API before so I. Sure I'm better off now haha. But I'm pretty new and only testing basics at this point

I use all red sea, but I think I have a bad alkalinity kit because I never get the right color.

Doesnt have to match just has to color shift from blue to peach or orange or red or w.e. when it changes from blue to anything else thats ur alkalinity reading :)
