Which test kit question

[rrent]

About ready to get the Bio-cube up and running. Been ready multiple web-site, forums, even a blog or two.

I saw a specific brand name of test kit "very accurate / not way expensive" - but can't find it now.

What's your favorite test kit?

Thanks in advance

I like API for the basics (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) and salfert for the others

+1 little fish. I have also gone to Salifert for nitrate as well.

+2 I agree with the ladies.

API works fine.
Lately I've been using Red Sea test kits and so far I really like every one of them. The plastic containers are nice, some of them use fancy plastic color wheels to read the results, the syringes, test tubes and other equipment are all top notch and so far tests are pretty easy and hard to screw up. Even the more complicated ones.

Bulk Reef Supply carries them. So far I have the Reef Foundation Pro, the Nitrate Pro and the Phosphate Pro.

I like these better than the Elos and Seachem kits, too.
