Test Kits What is Best

[cash03ins]

What works the best and are easy to work with?

I have no personal experience with them but Elos test kits are supposed to be a great. I use all Salifert because they are easy to get and I almost consider them to be the "reefkeeping standard" for most of us.

There are scientific test kits designed to be more accurate but you pay a premium for the +/- 2% in accuracy. LaMotte is one that comes to mind. There is a lot of info on them floating around in the Chemistry forums on RC.

I use Salifert now and have checked Elos and they seem to be pricey

Lamotte for Alk. Salifert for everthing else.

Not sure if any of you are subscribed to the Marine Depot news letters or not but they just sent an email last night doing a comparison between the "top" test kits.

probably going to get laughed at but I have been and still use a.p.i. salt water and reef test kits. They keep me in the ball park and are readily available and economical for the most part. No bad expiereance yet.
