Whats a good, decent priced test kit? One that has everything i need.

For your basic reef need, I use Aquarium pharmaceutical test kit (Nitrate, Nitrite, Amonia and ph). I also use their calcium and alkalinity test kit.

I've used Elos and Salifert also, but it test the same to me.

Salifert for me. All you'll need is Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium. If you don't monitor pH with a probe then maybe a pH test kit also.

I get my test kits from Bulk Reef Supply, very fresh kits with long expiration dates.

I have API for Alk test, nitrate, and phosphate. Don't want to spend to much money to test these things.

Salifert for Ca/ Mg. that is my two cents..

Just picked up an ELOS Ph test kit. really easy to compare color chart. 1st ph test kit where I dont hhave to say well between this # and that #.

I like Elos for Po4, CA, Mag, Nitrate, and now Ph... before was a mix of salifert and API

I bought the red sea all in one test kit and it was very inaccurate

I have always used Salifert and I would recommend it

Elos is the best IMO
