Looking for a good testing kit

[rookie07]

Does anyone know of a all in one testing kit. Ive seen strips that once dipped into water, tell you PH,nitrite, and nitrate.
Does anyone know of a similiar product that also shows ammonia, etc....
Are these type of test kits reliable?

test strips are for freshwater noobs even. I've never seen one that tested the same as a liquid test. They are usually way off in my experience.

i did some comparison of test strips vs liquid trst, the strips are about 0.2 off. i would not use strips

i rather dip my finger than the strips for testing

Salifert test kits are good, but anything is better than test strips.

I like salifert and Elos but then I may be a little biased. The Elos kits use very high grade reagents and are easy to use.
