    hey guys,

    just wondering if anyone can recommend a good testing kit for nitrates/nitrites/ammonia etc?. I've seen ones that test for everything and ones sold separately so i'm not sure what the best qaulity ones are...

    does anyone buy them online?

    the drops into a test tube of water are better than the strips.

    The API testing kits seem to be the best.

    Don't use the strips.

    as said above the drops into a test tube is the way to go
    if you take a bottle of water to a good fish shop they should be happy to test your water for you I know pet mania do it

    API are rubbish.
    Buy Salefert or JBL test kits. A bit dearer but way more accurate.
