    Hi all.
    I need to start replacing my test kits as mine are starting to run out.
    I have been using the Sera ones up to now. These were the first test kits I ever bought.
    Are there any other brands that others are using that you are happy with and that are readily available?
    TIA

    which ever test kits you use/buy ALWAYS make sure of the exp date on them

    consider getting yourself a digital ph pen tester. awesome if you test often. and i lot more convenient and quicker if you test regularly

    This is an old thread @'ConMan no need to revive it. And the general consensus on this forum is that pH pens are not accurate if you don't go through the pains of callobrating it often. (and properly!)
