O.K., my next ? is about test kits. In your experiances, which kits are the most accurate and reliable? There seem to be so many, and of course they all claim to be great! I am wondering for all types; fw, sw-fish only, and reef. I am the type that would not feel comfortable testing any less than once a week (even w/ the fw... at least for ph).
In the past I would set-up the barrel of water, let it airate (w/ airstones in it) for a day before adding salt, or for fw before adding to the tank. Is this o.k. or do I need to change my method? Should I test for anything (other than salinity of course) before adding fw or sw?
Thanks!!
