    I use Salifert as well, they are kinda pricey but have always been accurate IMO.

    Lamotte ...I just started using Lamotte and they are by FAR better than anything I have used by a long shot!

    You can get them at Premium Aquatics...best part is that you can buy refills cheap!

    I bought an alk kit for 24.00 and refills are only 9.95 for 50 tests...and these are a quality that none of the others can touch not even the Elos kits that are so big right now.

    I agree, best kits out there for sure.

    I like the elos kits, they read very well.
    However they don't offer everything you need so which they don't have I supplement with sailfert kits

    I can say this:

    API kits are very common, but not very accurate. I can make my nitrate test say whatever I want, rather than relying on the result and knowing it's right.
