Part of my lack of testing comes down to the inconvenience of my setup. I do have space to make a little station, but I need a little inspiration! I'm thinking of making a little testing tray containing my kits, a waste bin, and DI rinse bottle so I don't have to rinse at the sink each time. For those of you that have gone the extra mile to make your testing station more convenient(and ideally not too much of an eyesore), let's see what you're working with!

It’s a super complicated and cluttered sterile scientific lab…

Listen dude, I wanted to improve my setup, but I'm just not sure any of us can compete with that caliber of complication.

But in all seriousness, do you test for phos, alk, ca, anything like that as well?

Do you trust them? I’ve no experience with them but reminds me of a chap I used to work with that could do just about everything, poorly.
No. Not at all but they give a ballpark estimate and it’s good enough for an old tank.

Not really. All I care about it dkh, ph, and nitrate.
