Hi all,
We were talking about test kits under another thread, when Rusty suggested it needed to be a separate topic. So, to make this discussion more visible, I've started this new thread about test kits.
This is what I wrote in response to Carol's inquiry about the getting a good test kit:
I have a large kit made by Hagen (Master Test Kit) which has chemicals and test tubes for eight different tests, not all of them absolutely necessary. But it's very well organized and easy to use, and if you loved your chemistry set as a kid, you'll love this kit! The results for all but one test correspond exactly to the ones from my LFS.
I've had trouble with the pH test included in this kit, and ended up buying a Tetra kit for pH, which also gave the same readings that my LFS's tests did.
So, what experiences have you other aquarium owners had?
Nancy
