Cal: Salifert or Elos
Alk/KH: Salifert or Elos
Phos: Hanna photometer
Mag: Salifert

I've been using API, I've used salifert before, I didnt like it tho, I think I'll try it again, everyone seems to be raving about it.

 

[Aquatic Life Direct]

Phosphate = Hanna Photometer
Everything else = Salifert

Martini photometer(phosphates) cost less than a hanna and in my opinion and after several test against hanna more accurate but not by much and salifert for everything else..
