Being cost effective varies. It really depends on what you're willing to spend. First of all you'll need to buy a contoller (Probably at least $100) and then extra probes and calibration fluids. The things that I know you can measure via controllers are salinity, ph, temperature, and ozone. I would guess that at least $150 would get you started and one or two probes.
I am making a custom controller with a PLC. The probes for PH, SG, and temp are easy and cheap (relative).
But I figure there has to be like calcium, mag, alk, nitrite etc in a digital meter. Not necessarily to hook up to a controller at this point.
I come from industrial controls and electrical so everywhere I think to look has test equipment that will give me what I want is thousands of dollars and huge, but I do not need that kind of equipment for home aquaria.
Would be nice to find something where I can give it a water sample and push a button to get several results, and not cost several thousand.
I wouldn't mind 100 per parameter it measures kind of thing. Just want easy and digital readout.

Where from?
I keep only being able to find the industrial control units, and they are way more then 250.
Found a few at like 50 each, but still needs reactants to complete the test, but at least its a digital readout.
Hanna Instruments Alkalinity checker
Hanna Instruments Nitrite Checker
Hanna Instruments Phosphate Checker
Hanna Instruments Iodine Checker
PH, SG, and Temp will be actual probes hooked up to my PLC,
Are there any other digital readout meters that I could get that would be useful? I'm not sure the Nitrite one would be useful either.
