So i sometimes end up testing multiple times due to some sort of screw up (99 out of 100 times its my fault). So im wondering what is the most accurate, fool proof, and quickest test kit? I know you wont find all of those qualities in one. Are Hanna testers worth it? Which ones?
 
Salifert are as good as it gets imo, If you want super accurate results then you need to spend 1000's on lab grade equipment.
But as hobbyists a ball park figure is ok. Don't go chasing numbers as it will drive you crazy and not good for your tank, stick to the same test kit for each test you do, lets say your kh test kit is 0.5 dkh out, if you use the same test kit it will always be 0.5 dkh out so its consistent and stable, stability is key to any tank not numbers. Your tank is the best test kit on the planet, if it looks fine then keep doing what you are doing.
Hanna test kits are no more accurate than salifert really, the only advantage they have is a digital readout, which is good for people who have sight problems, other than that I see no other benefit too them. Plus they do not have a great margin for error, such as the test vial must be absolutely spotless or it can skew the result as can many other things with the hanna.
 
thank you exactly what i was leaning towards just wanted to have a 2nd opinion. As i have mixed feelings about some of the RS kits... and now some things arent looking too happy but before i start making changes i want to confirm with something maybe a bit more trustworthy. lol
 
The one I have is a liquid you put in the water and some are ones you dip in and it shows?
