I am looking to get a resonably accurate test kit for nitrate and phosphate as I want to try vodak dosing. Any suggestions?

Is salifert a good test kit for these 2 tests?

I think you will find a wide assortment of opinions regarding test kits. That said, I use Salifert for all my tests and have compared them with the API. I find they are both satisfactory as long as the kits are not older than one year from the date of manufacturer. This age will include time spent on the shelves from the manufacturer and other vendors down the line to you. ;)

joshh81,

IME both kits are very good, haven't found better ones yet.

The Salifert kits are fine, in my experience. The Hach phosphate kit is easier to read than the Salifert, although a lot more expensive.
