AP (Aquarium Pharmaceuticals) makes a good test kit.
Tetra is not that reliable [acronym:e5cf5285bf="As far as I know"]AFAIK[/acronym:e5cf5285bf].

I agree on the AP. The BEST [acronym:67f38f54d4="In my opinion"]IMO[/acronym:67f38f54d4].

I also use Aquarium Pharmaceuticals (whenever I remember to

).

I was using InterPet but was advised on this forum to get the AP Master Test Kit, and it's much better, easier to do, and more accurate, so go with AP.

Don't think there's any electronic ones (someone jump in if I'm wrong) but wouldn't it be great if there was??

ap is where its at, just be careful not to break the tubes. I have a problem with that lol.

I really like my Hagen Master Test Kit. It comes with more tests than the AP Mater Test Kit, so you don't have to go and buy them separately like you would with AP. Of course if you don't need any of the extra tests, AP is less expensive.

Yup. Unless you need the extra tests, the AP is definately cheaper.

The extra tests are for plants and whatnot, correct?

I have AP and hagen, [acronym:0beca94136="In my opinion"]IMO[/acronym:0beca94136] the AP tests are easier to read.
