I know that this has probably been asked a million times so I am going to make it a million and one.

I know that Calcium, Alk/kH, pH, Magnesium, Phosphate, and Ammonia are the main water parameters to keep a close eye on and from reading most of Dr. Ron's articles as well as Nitrate and nitrite. I was mainly wanting to know what test kits everyone trusts the most. I know Salifert is probably the best but wow $110 for testing kits :wacko How often do you all test for these. When I had my FOWLR I test evry sunday for Nitrate, Nitrite, pH, ALk/kH but I used the Aquarium Pharmaceuticles test kits but did not like the way they had thier color chart colors where a little too close to being the same. I don't know if they have changed them or not. Any insight to these would be great.
