for longest time ive been wondering what is the best test kit. i use a combination of a six in 1 test strip made by jungle labs, a API Nitrate liquid test and nutrafin ammonia liquid test.

please tell me what u think is the best test kit.

1. give the full name of the kit
2. state if it is liquid or strip
3. name the manufacturer.
 
As far as the test strips go, I really like the 6-in-1 Jungle ones that you have. The API liquid test kits seem to be fairly accurate and are very easy to use.

However my vote for best test kits go to Salifert.
 
Another API liquid tester(for good results). I also have quick test strips from jungle.
 
the 6 in 1 jungle one i use doesn't test for ammonia, i use this stupid one that has 3 liquids and takes 20 mins and then u use a chart with the # from the color given and u match it on the chart with ur ph. to see if its ammonia. most of the time its just ammonium
 
hmm best bet do what i did.... throw the kit out the window...
