    What are you using to test Alk and Nitrates?

    Looking for the best and most accurate.

    Considering

    Red Sea for Nitrate
    & Hanna for Alk.

    Any suggestions?

    Tank.
    Red Sea Max 130 34 gal
    5 fish & mixed lps & sps.

    Note that your lab skills often matter more than the test kit.
    Always clean everything with RODI.
    Do you know what meniscus is and why it matters?
    Doing drops....

    IMO: Best Alk test is this one:

    Especially if you test a fairly large volume of water.
    Not as hard as it seems

    That said : I never bother with anything fancy. Chasing numbers ...
