whis is best tester do you use or recommend for nitrite and nitrate in term of accuracy and easy to read? Thanks
 
Red Sea and or Red Sea Pro works pretty good for me.
And welcome to R2R!
 
Red sea and salifert make some great test kits, but for nitrate specifically, I have found the nyos test the easiest to read.
 
I like the Salifert nitrate test best. 1 ml of tank water is all that is needed and it’s fairly easy to read the result.

I also use the Redsea pro test that uses 32 ml of tank water. It has more resolution than Salifert at the low end, but I don’t think it’s any more accurate than Salifert.

I also used the Redsea reagents and the Hanna phosphate checker to read nitrate. It has more resolution than either of the other two. But I just keep going back to the easy to use Salifert.
