[denzil1nil]

im having a few problems with my existing tank and have been advised to purchase a water testing kit. Would the api master testing kit be suitable i saw them on ebay for around £25. Off to work now so will check posts later thanks for reading

when i got my first tank 6 yrs ago it came with a lot of different test kits.the only kits i have have gone out and purchased myself are the tetra,api and salifert.but yeah ive tried a few.

I've used a few of those and have stuck with salifert, they're far more accurate than API. If they did a more affordable multi kit rather than all the individual ones I would recommend that, else it can get quite expensive.

 

[BETTY BOO]

yeah the salifert is really good.api has never failed me and cheaper than salifert.its always good saving money in this hobby

 

[soybean]

Yep, hence why it's so often recommended. I agree it's the best cheapest one, I'll never agree it's the best!

 

[BETTY BOO]

no you are right its not the best.but out of all the test kits ive tried salifert has been the best for me.i just forgot i tried it earlier as ive used so many.the api test kit just came straight to my head.
