What test kit to get?

[saahilrtrivedi]

I need to get a test kit for my nano reef.
Tank is set up and running for about a month, was a transfer from a smaller tank.

I got my water tested occasionally at the LFS.

Which of the following kits would be best?
I don't have the budget to get multiple kits.

Hey I had a mardel 5in1 and I trusted it for a year and I had algae problems the guys just told me to get the salifert test kits they are expensive but they give accurate results.
They are taxing my budget too :division:

+1 the kits you posted in the OP are not ones you want

I used to use red sea but it was a pain I moved to the easy API. Its no where near as accurate but much easier.

My opinion, Ive used them all... The best test kits

Red Sea Pro for ALK, CAL and Mag.
Refractometer - Salinity
The big Hanna Phosphate meter (not pocket) - Phosphates
For ph i use an apex probe

Again this is my opinion on stuff i have used and works best

red sea or salifert, I like red sea calc and mag for the very easy color change, I don't like the red sea for alk color change , salifert for alk
