Hey all. I am heading out today to pick up some test kits. After reading "Fancy Goldfish" by Ken from Goldfishconnection I realized that I really need to be testing my water to keep my fish at their best. I am going to be picking up test kits for Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph and I also want a salinity tester. Any thoughts on good brands of testers especially when it comes to accurarcy and ease of use?

I prefer liquid test kit from API.. It's not the easiest one to use but get an accurate result if you follow the instruction.

I vote for this one also

API freshwater master test kit is definately the best. Test strips are no were near as accurate

I agree with all of the above posters. API! I used to use strips and they are much harder to read/ I really don't trust them any longer. :]

+1 for the API freshwater master test kit but the tetra master kit is also a good the only thing is there master kit does not have a nitrate test you need to but that seperatly

That should be required reading for all fancy owners. Good for you!
