Question

What type of testkit?


Hello,

I'm running low on testing supplies, so I figured it would be a good idea to start fresh with a new testkit.
However, I've heard of some people having problems with specific kits (inaccurate readings).
Which kit would you recommend?

I'd like to be able to test for:
pH
Nitrite
Nitrate
Ammonia
kH
gH
TDS

If there isn't a kit that has all of these, I'd still love to hear of any good ones (or of ones that have many of the above)!
Thank you!

Api master test kit + API GH & KH test kit would cover everything but the TDS meter.

Ebay for a pH pen and TDS pen from Overseas. Cost me about $20-$25 for both. Took a few weeks to ship.
