Salifert.....recommended by reefer here !haha

[peacemaker]

Or you can consider ELOS test kits. Getting popular.

[DUCADOS]

How much does this cost?

Where to purchase for better price?

Normally how long u guys test your water once?

[wchris12]

API is good for me

API is good for me

I have doubt with the API NO3 test kit. I salt mix water right from tap, add water from tap, 4 ft tank with a 6" yellow tang and 2 maroon clown, feeding regularly. However my No3 is 0ppm. I test my friend water also 0ppm. Just too good to be truth..

Anyone experience similar expeience?

Salifert.....recommended by reefer here !haha

Agree. Salifert the best.

[reefer guy]

salifert all the way

[Jameshong]

I'm using ph meter but ocassionally use API ph test kit to double confirm the reading and both reading are quite close !

[sherman]

Salifert for KH, CA and MG.

For PO4 and NO3 experience zero reading but when using other

test set actually reading is very much higher then zero.

Hence if you need very good reading for NO3 and PO4 go for better

test kit like Elos and Red Sea Pro series(Can,t remember the actual

name) Check and feedback again tonite

i am also using api test kit for no3. i cant get a reading of zero. tap water is 10 to 20. distilled 5 to 10.

I suggest API for FOWLR tank to measure ANN. Cheap and good enough.

Bro, take note you need to shake your solution no 2 before you drop in your test tube

I did shaked bottle 2, after several tries for weeks, coloration still closes to the lightest yellow..

Recently bought the API PO4 test kit too, and it's 0 again.

Feel like changing to Salifert, or any bro can help test my water..

[Tian85]

Salifert is not really that exp, consider that it is only 5 to 10 buck more then API but it give u an ease off your mind for the test.

Get salifert will not be wrong, saw AM just restock their salifert test kit.

I would recommend the following testers if you want more accurate readings...

1) Alkalinity Checker

2) Calcium Checker

3) Nitrite Checker

4) Phosphorus Checker

Yap...good and precise but this 4 King Of Heaven will cost you more than 450 liao if I'm not wrong !

I'm currently using API KH, pH, & CA kit. For PO4, I'm using Hanna Phosphorus Checker.

None for DD test kit?

Normal to get that type of readings for tap water. Our tap water do contain some level of nitrate. For planted tank, plants photosynthesis increases after water change.

None for DD test kit?

Up for DD po4 test. Great resolution and ease of reading due to the color comparator system where tank water is used as baseline .

Still no NO3 tester?

[CY2010]

Don't recommend API for PO4 n NO3, my using TM for NO3 n PO4. Using DD for Ca n Mg.
