Title: SW test kit


danj - February 25, 2006 06:10 PM (GMT)
I have two SW test kits and i get different readings of nitrate. I would like to know what is the best SW test kit?
One of my kits is a Aquarium Pharm. Inc. the liquid test kit. The other is an Aquarium Systems powder test kit.
Aquarium Pharm. Inc. = nitrate at 20+
Aquarium Systems = nitrate 10 exactly
Which should i believe?

Imo if you read nitrate you know you need to take action whether it is 10ppm or 80ppm. Remember always make slow changes. AP test kits are okay test kits for a saltwater tank, but there are other more accurate test kits.
