Best test kits

[24/7ReeFTime]

What are the best test kits for reef tanks? Preferably under 150 USD. I really need for AKH calcium magnesium.

Most of them use the same methods, just different amounts and stuff.

I would just get Salifert for those, but they use the same methods as Red Sea and many others.

The Hannah Ultra Low Phosphorous is the only kit that I am particular about.

I prfer the Hanna Checker for Alk, the Red Sea for calcium and Salifert for Mag.

The best brands for test kits are Red Sea, Salifert, and Hanna.

I have problems with Alk & Phosphate Salifert kits because of the colors used.
NYOS Alk uses a yellow color & is much easier to read for me.
Phospate I went with a photometer.
