Test Kits...what do you use?

[Basssa]

I use a collaboration of Salifert and Aquarium Systems and Hagen. Is there a "best test" for 1) ease of use, 2) reliability, 3) range...or is just preference. It would be nice to have a self contained kit instead of 8 wet disintegrating cardboard boxes in a drawer. Whatdoes your kit stash include?

Hello,
I use the little plastic index card boxes you can get at the office supply store. Get one for each test kit and label them accordingly.

HTH, Marco

P.S. - I use mostly Salifert and Tropic Marin as my test kits of choice.

Good suggestion Marcosreef! I use Salifert and LaMotte. The LaMotte kits are initially more expensive, but come in a foam-filled plastic box [just like a notecard box] and use glass vials. In the long run they may well be cheaper as you can refill reagents seperately. Very reliable kits, and no more diffcult to use than others.
