Try salifert, lamotte, or hach kits. Any other kits are a waste of money IMO. Alos master kits are a waste of money. Buy the kits you really need. Calcium and Alk are IMO the only ness. tests unless you have a new tank or a tank with problems.

Hey tim it is Petco guy. I would get a test kit thta has ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, High range PH, alkalinity, phosphate not necasary nice though. And calium that is about it. The tabs are the most accurrate then the drops then the test sticks. AT work we have like 10 containers of nitrate and nitrite test sticks that we dont need. Ask me next time adn i will give you one on the house. They dont work the best but give soemthing to guide by. Next time is see you we can talk more and i will see what we can work out for a cheap basic test kit because i know you are on colloege funds. I work saturady if you can make it

Generally I'd agree that Salifert are very nice kits.

The execption is the Strontium test - it's hopless because the final titration is subject to such a large error in measurement.
