Test kits

[Mcgolg76]

Currently have the api master test kit. Unfortunately it doesn't test hardness kh or gh. Trying to breed crystal shrimp where that stuff is important. What is kit that members here prefer to use to test that stuff?

I have/had the same issue.

Here: Amazon.com: API GH and KH Test Kit: Pet Supplies

You can get it for $6 off amazon.

Ty do I need a water hardness test? Would that be tds? Or would gh and kh suffice

Umm that I am not sure... I know the above will test for KH/GH and then there is this thing:

HM Digital TDS-3 Handheld TDS Meter With Carrying Case, 0 - 9990 ppm TDS Measurement Range, 1 ppm Resolution, +/- 2% Readout Accuracy - Amazon.com

which will test for TDS. I was never sure what to do with a TDS result so I just went for the KH/GH kit, but then I wasn't breeding shrimp either... I am not sure. I guess it just depends on what you are wanting to do/needing to know.

Just ordered it. Should be good
