    Whick test kits are the best all round test kit to test my reef tank, One that has most if not all the test included, instead having to buy multi kits??

    API makes a marine kit that comes with some good basic kits. You can get them at the chain per stores.

    agreed. API makes a "saltwater" kit and a "reef" kit. you will want both if you plan on doing corals.

    there is overlap of (I think it was) nitrates test...

    You will also need a separate Mg test bc API doesn't make one. I recommend against Red Sea as it's a pain to use. I'm really happy with my current Salifert Mg test.


    Also, API pH test is kind of hard to read... I'd get an electronic "pH pen" from eBay for that...
