    Hey guys looking at getting a new Ph, and nitrate tester. the kits are a little over priced I believe at +-R200 for a nitrate test kit.

    Any on know of a good make that meets the budget a little better. I am looking at getting an electronical one rather then chemical.

    Regards

    Do you really need an electronic PH meter?

    Why I am asking is, to get a good meter is expensive.
    If you keeping sensitive fish or altering the PH of your water the meter would be essential.
    Weigh the pros and cons first.

    A proper electric pH meter will cost you over R2000.00... and even then this is a cheap one. So R200.00 for a proper drop checker (the one that uses the chemicals) is exceptionally good value for money... and much more accurate than cheap electric ones.

    Not sure about accuracy but I saw the DARO pH drop test at the lfs for R69.

    I know the nitrate drop test is approx. R200
