whats the best full range of test kit for a salt tanks ..a all in one kit ..
 
I don't think you're going to find a "master kit" that does it all.

Ask your favorite store which importer or livestock distributor they feel is the best consistantly. Then call that place and ask which test kits they use and why. Dan
 
Salifert and Kordon AquaTru make decent all in one test kits for saltwater and reef aquariums, but you still might have to purchase a couple individual test kits to get exactly what you want.
 
Seachem has some really nice tests but I haven't seen them grouped together.
 
Seachems test are the best imo, they are much easier to use, and last much longer. There is less chance of the test kit being improperly done. Also they are clumped in sets, like iodide iodine tests, and nitrite nitrate tests. The nitrite nitrate test actually enables you to test the nitrite, add a new reagent to the sample of nitrite test, and test the nitrate. So 1 sample, 2 tests. They aren't sold as a group. Even the api test kits only cover the most basic things, and then you pick at choose which test you want in addition to the master kit.
 
I agree, seachems are great. But you will have to choose what you want to test and buy want you need individually. Same with most if not all names
