which test kit do you use? reason i ask is i have been using the API professional kit up to now and today got a tetra test strip kit that does 5 tests in one. and checking the results against the master kit the strips are way out. eg master = ph 7. gh 7. kh 5. nitrAte 10. and strips say ph 8. gh 10. kh 3. & nitrAte 25. and the is no way my nitrAte is 25. anyone else found a difference between kits and what kits does anyone else use?

5 in 1 kits are a waste of money and you would save much more money on a master kit.

Just a reminder on your test kits folks. They go out of date so check those dates.
