This was last night. Just over 24 hours since addition of the rock. The water is crystal clear! Don't mind my too small DIY construction paper background... I'll get a better one soon.

If you're not in a rush order online. I get my saltwater test kit from dr foster and smith

 

[Pufferlove]

What brand also is it better to get the API reef test kit or the generic salt water one?

 

[Pufferlove]

Anyone?

 

[Bearchumjs]

Anyone?

I use API. Seems to work good for me.

 

[Convict2161]

API is ok... I have a few Salifert kits for kh and cal. I find them more accurate all though I mess up a lot using them lol. I find just bringing it to my guy an have him test it lol.

But I do test regularly I just mess it up a few times lol.

Ok will get API but is it better to get the API Reef test kit and add on pH and Nitrate Or to Buy the API Saltwater Test kit and do the Reef add ons
