Best Nitrate test kit

[JOKER]

Ok so I have ordered some hanna checkers, but they do not have nitrate, or I can not find them. I am looking for a good nitrate test and was wondering what most of you use. I am currently using api and am right on with the ac. I have not ask what they use.

Which is easiest to read, salifert or Red Sea?

I like both the Salifert and the Red Sea Pro - and they seem to match up well with results. Personally I think the RSP is easier to read, more differentiation in colors. You can get a more exact reading - although not sure that is really necessary! lol

RedSea Pro!!!

Thanks guys. I wonder if hanna will soon be making nitrate? Seem much easier than adding drops.lol

They've said they were now for years but it hasn't happened yet.

I like the Elos test kits. They are pricey but accurate and user friendly.

I have the Elos calcium kit and I am far from impressed. The fact that you have to watch for a color change and they don't actually show the beginning and end colors is asinine. The test itself is easy to use, the lack of color on the card is poor planning on Elos's part.

The color change is the end of the test. As soon as it goes from pink to blue you're done. (I think that's the one I'm thinking of) it been a while since I've used one.

My issue with the test is that the color change is slow and that, like almost all other tests, they don't show the actual colors they change from and to. It's just two shades of grey.
