Which test kit?

[firstnanoreef]

I am getting back into the hobby and I am looking for a decent test kit to get me going. I was thinking of the Redsea marine care multi test kit as it seams reasonably good value for money.

Are there any other brands i should be looking at to give more accurate results? Ive heard Salifert are good test kits too.

 

Cheers, James.

I like Salifert & Giesemann. Hanna makes probably the most accurate test kits (Colorimeters), but also more expensive.

I use the Red Sea test kit. I'm happy with it, easy to read and good instructions.

I use red sea for ALK mg and ca. Hannah for phosphate and api for nitrate, but im going to be picking up a salifert nitrate kit tomorrow.

I use Salifert for Mg, Hanna for dKH and Ca. It has worked great so far.
