Test Kits

[trainman]

Just wondering what test kits most people are using to test their parameters.
I started recently using Sera and not sure if I should believe the results.
I still use other kits as well like aquarium pharmaceuticals and see differences in test results, some small, some not, Like the calc is a large difference.....both kits are new.
I bought the sera at Jays Aquatics recommendation after using the other for years...still not sure if I should trust the sera.
What do you all use and which is most accurate? If we even know
Thanks
Jay

I just got a Elos test kit for Calc and will NEVER go to anything else. It's fantastic (and I'm colorblind too, and the color change is obvious to me). I have Elos for Alk and Mag too. Mag is GREAT and Alk is a little iffy, but it seems to be pretty good for color change. Elos seems to be really accurate, but I know other people use Salifert. I have API for NH4, NO3, NO2 and pH. I think that is fine for those parameters.

All in all, you can't go wrong with Elos, IMO/E
