Best test kit

[TominiReef250]

What's the best test? Been using red Sea tests kits for everything calcium magnesium alkalinity phosphate nitrate
.. just looking for opinions...

I'v heard that Hanna checkers are pretty accurate, except for calcium

I have to look in to that I never heard any good or bad about them just know they exist

I use Salifert or Elos; Elos has a really easy alkalinity kit but Salifert has a much easier to see color change during titration and is a little more precise.I found API to be significantly inaccurate re: alkalinity (off by 3 dKH) compared with either Salifert or Elos (and with tests done by myself or at the LFS).

Red Sea Mag kit is terrible... Salifert is much more accurate. I like the Hanna Alk/Phosphorus checkers, use Red Sea for Calc/Nitrate/Amonia, and Salifert for Mag/Potassium. Those are my personal favorites.

I bought one salifert test kit cant remember which test it was. This was a while back I remember it being a little difficult to use or maybe I didn't understand the direction.
