Ok so I just needed to know what company out there test water for reeftanks? Years ago I used a company and can no longer find them. Can anyone tell me if the company is still around? If not what test kits are best these days for testing of our water. Right now I am using Lamotte for Alk,Calcium,Nitrates and salifert for Phosphates. With that said is there anything else I should be testing for and if so what?
The reason I posts this in the sps forum is its all about the health of our sps and there colors.
As always thank you
Please share what you test for.
 
I only test for alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate and phosphate. The other elements I don't test for should all be present in the water changes preformed.
 
Hi, IMO best test are: alk - hanna, calcium and magnesium - salifert, phosphate - hanna phosphor URL, nitrate - salifert, sg - milwaukee or refractometer.

+1 exact tests I use

I would save yourself some money in the long run and not pay to have your water tested, invest in some good kits and you're good to go!
