Not just that, its a pain in the bum to go to the shop every time you want your water testing. What if you want to test it at 11 pm? You can't go down then, and your fish can't afford for you to wait really. A test kit is a worthwhile purchase while your tank is very new and you are inexperienced. Even more experienced fish keepers rely on test results often when adding large numbers of stock or if they've had a number of unexplained deaths.

any good testing kit to get,or any, any make or type you recommend, thanks

If you are buying a new tank is recommend you buy as big a tank as you can afford really. Easier to look after and you can stock bigger and more fish. Looking at how new your set up is is recommend a test kit and doing daily water changes to dilute the toxins in the water. As your ammonia is getting high you need to dilute this with fresh dechlored tap water. Do you understand how the good bacteria work in your filter?
