 Recomended Testing Kits... What do you use?
Alright, so I have a few different testing kits and so far none of them agree on my pH. My cheap one is just a test strip for an array of easy tests (not my primary testing method, just use it to get a quick count on nitrite, nitrate, and pH). I also have an API test kit for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH. I also have another kit by Marine Aquariums that checks for pH and Alkalinity (although the alk test is a little weird).
My dilemma is that every test gives me a different reading for my pH. I don't pay much attention to the test strips as I have no confidence in their quality, however depending on which test I use my pH can be between 7.9 and 8.2. I would like to have something that is a little more reliable/accurate than a .3 approximation
Also what other tests should I have and what brands do you recommend. I will be running a FOWLR tank (maybe I will get adventurous down the road and run a reef tank). _________ 1 true-percula & 2 fox-face firefish. 46-Bow w/ 20gal as sump. DIY wet/dry and DIY overflow. Coral Life skimmer. QuietOne return pump. Eheim ProII canister (just in case my DIY stuff fails). 36" Nova Extreme (2x39w 10k, 2x39w actinic with a fan loud enough to drowned out the noise from the tank) 48lbs. LR. Tank 2 is a 55G Fresh Water w/ 4 Discus. Tank 3 is a 10G fresh with Tetra. |
