Stick with Salifert, worth every penny. "Just take into account what you are spending on coral, and ask yourself if the difference is really that much for a test you can trust."

I agree with Ryan, that's all I test for as well. If I need to test for something else I can always go to the LFS. ]]> Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:26:47 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42980&PID=372786&title=test-kits#372786 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42980&PID=372773&title=test-kits#372773 Author: Ryan Thompson

I have never found a good master kit on the market. I use Salifert currently but will be switching to Elos when I run out of my test kits I have now.

The problem I see with master test kits is that most are pointless. In the 4 years of being in this hobby, I have never owned a Nitrate, Nitrite, or Ammonia test kit. I take that back actually. I bought a master test kit once and never used anything but the calcium test and it was pretty bad. I bought it like the first month of being in the hobby.

The only test kits I think people really need are Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium.

API would be the next thing i got my kit for 17 bucks that includes Ammonia, Nitrite, nitrate, ph test kits. the master that i got for 19 with includes ALK. Calcium. Phosphate.Ph and nitrate. Salifert are expensive i got 6 of them 20 bucks each good brand though.]]> Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:19:57 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42980&PID=372762&title=test-kits#372762 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42980&PID=372761&title=test-kits#372761 Author: bstuver

So I know a lot of people recommend the Salifert brand test kits but they are pretty pricey, I am wondering what the next best would be? I have most of the test kits I need right now but for future I would like a kit that maybe comes with all the different ones instead of individual boxes and what not.
