I'm wondering what test kits everyone uses and why? Especially looking for Kh (Alk), Cal, Mag, Po4 and No3. I'm using Red Sea now but haven't been happy with them.

+1 along with Apex probes

What apex probes do you use as well? Also I'm looking into Hanna since I use RedSea now. I think I've heard the Hanna Cal tester has had mixed reviews most of them bad have others here had problems.

Apex probes I use are pH, ORP, Temperature, and Salinity.

 

Hanna Testers I use are Alk, UL Phosphate, and Calcium.

 

The Calcium tester is the only Hanna tester that takes some brains and accuracy on the testers part. I have had good luck with it.

Salifert makes great test kits. Used them for a long time. Last couple of years been using Hanna and Red Sea. Just got tired of reading the tiny syringe numbers. Red Sea uses syringes too, but find the numbers a little larger and they don't wear off the syringe. Also like using glass instead of plastic.

Well let's see what kind of results I get now and compare them all. Might even send water out to lab and see which is most accurate.
