Test kits

[You Got Reef?]

So far I've been using the API test kit to test ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and PH. I'm looking for a good test kit that can do calcium, alkalinity, and phosphates. Anyone have any good recommendations?

I've been looking at this one which seems to have everything but the reviews are not all that great.

I've also had my eye one this one for a while but it includes tests that I already have and don't need, also not a lot of reviews.

I would love to get some Hanna Instruments testers as I believe they would be a great investment but they are a bit expensive just to test one parameter.


I'm open to suggestions, criticisms, and anything that could help.
Thanks!

The salifert and red sea are both good, and accurate.

I use the Red Sea test kit. Also been slowly adding Hanna testers to the regiment as I go on.

Salifert for alk, calcium and nitrate. Forget about pH - if you really care then get a battery operated ph Pen. Hannah Ultra Low Phosphorous for phosphate.

The Salifert and Red Sea use the same reagents and methods to get their color to change - they both work the same.
