I'm looking to get opinions on various brands of test kits based on ease of use, accuracy and price. I'm not really looking at the price so much of ease of use and accuracy. I'm by no means a chemist so simple is better but accuracy is needed. Right now I'm more concerned about testing on calcium, alk and magnesium.

Thanks in advance!

I myself have been using this kit here, It's made by Hagen. Otherwise Salifert test kits are great but do get expensive.http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~HG17860.html

Must be a zillion threads on this subject ... depends on what your testing and how much your willing to pay.

Most test kits will do a decent job for the basics ... api, seachem, and salifert tend to be popular on most SW forums.
