Best Nitrate Test Kit

[bigdan3489]

I am color blind and use mostly Hanna checkers to test my reef tank but they do not have a nitrate checker and was wondering what everybody's opinion was on the best most user friendly test kit for nitrates was that would be the easiest to see.

I have only used elos, but I've a sneaking suspicion that it's not accurate. It's only ever read 0 except for a cycling QT once that read off the chart. I'm going to try a saifert. They seem to be popular.

I have a similar problem with you, not very good with colors. I have found that the Red Sea one is the best for my eyes (and most accurate). Colors are pretty distinct even in the low ranges and the wheel helps. Their phosphate though unreadable

agreed on the phosphate one. 3 different shades of white for the first three is a nightmare.

Red Sea Pro is really good.
NYOS is very good too and very easy.
I really do not like the Salifert kit, especially the way they handle high and low range.

I have tried Red Sea Pro, Salifert and NYOS for Nitrate. Liked the Red Sea Pro the best, by far the easiest to read especially if you have low levels.

I was leaning toward the Red Sea one, I use the Hanna checker for phosphate
