And there really isn't a need for ammonia and nitrite once you've cycled. All that said I think Lamotte has the best nitrate kit, better than Salifert (at least it's easier to read the results). I still think I like Saliferts Alk kit better than Lamottes, but they are both pretty good. Currently I use Salifert for Mag and Calc, though I don't test mag very often and should probably get a new kit. For phosphates I just run gfo and don't worry about it too much. |
