You guys have any recommendations about test kits. I want to order a new kit, but don't know which are the easiest to use, but also want reliablity. Any suggestions?

I use Salifert whenever possible. I also rely heavily on a handheld PH meter and a refractive salinity thingy (refractometer?).

You didn't mention what you are testing for.

Prefer Seachem for Calcium. Salifert or Lamotte for everything else.

Nah man, you get more tests from a seachem kit than a salifert kit , and they both have the same readings. I got some Lamotte kits on sale, they're cool.. I wouldn't pay the full price for them.. like $53 for a phosphate test.. heh
