    salifert is probably the best quality and accuracy, elos i hear is comparable. these can also be quite spendy!

    i use API liquid tests for everything except Mag (they dont make a Mg test for some reason). they are cheaper and seem to be accurate enough to balance the cost/performance continuum 8)

    Salifert is by far the most accurate

    salifert for sure. However I too use the API for the basics and the Salifert for mg, ca, and will soon be replacing my kH with a salifert.
