I would go for a Salifert kit of the following:
Nitrate
Alk
Ammonia | Louis, I never really minded the color matching; also the test results were pretty accurate (I used the API kit while breeding, they were pretty reliable). I'm looking for close perimeters, not exact. I looked into the Salifert kits and although they are more reliable they are also more expensive, I also looked up their shelf-lives and the Alkalinity test only has a shelf-life of six months, meanwhile the nitrate and ammonia are ~1-2 years. I just don't see the point in spending more money to throw out the tests in the same amount of time, just my opinion; lol.
