    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I like Saliferts brand. A little bit more expense but seems to be worth it. I also use a constant electronic pH meter. Much nicer.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    Seachem all the way. I love all of their products... well worth the money. They also have many other roducts as well which is nice.

    I would also test for Nitrates. I also prefer a refractomer over a hydrometer.
    If you are going to keep corals you are going to also test for Calcium. I like Salifert brand as well.
    Happy Reefing!
