A good test kit?
What brand of test kit do you all use? I need to buy a new kit soon and want to make sure I get an accurate one. Thanks.

I'm not sure of what exact brand, but I know you should avoid the test strips. They can be very inaccurate. Unfortunately, pet shops often use these when people bring their water in to test (a lot of people don't realize you should have a test kit, so props to you for doing your homework!) so their results may not be accurate and this also perpetuates the belief the test strips are fine.

The API Master Freshwater Kit is highly regarded! I have it and it's great. Probably the most accurate test kit money can buy.

Yeah, I bought mine on Amazon. Pet shops tend to have higher prices on everything so I try to buy everything I can online.

If you do want to buy from a pet store though you can always look for a sale/promo code from Petco or Petsmart. Just do a quick google search and you should be able to find any current sales or promo codes for their sites. A few weeks ago I got $15 worth of free merchandise from Petco and the shipping was free too! It was one of those lightning deals things that went away after several hours.

Thanks all :) I think I'll buy it on Amazon because I have Amazon Prime so shipping will be free, assuming Prime will be available for the product.
