    I've been having some strange issues with my fish and tanks and everyone advices me to check my parameters.

    I'm now looking to get myself a testing kit to make sure that the levels are all optimal. What kits are the best and most accurate? I've seen a few reviews on YouTube but I value other people's opinions

    @mwolfaardt , we using the Sera liquid test kits and am very happy so far

    In the beginning we sometimes took tests with it and then took some of the same water to the LFS to see if the readings were the same and they always were so Im happy with it

    I really trust the JBL kits. They are so easy and nice to use. And VERY accurate!

    I have used a electronic one for TDS and TEMP. I think its acurate. I see you can also get one for PH. Not tried yet my self but looks promising.

    I also use the electronic one for temps and those so far have been accurate
    I have been a little hesitant in using the electronic ones for things like Ph etc ... maybe I am being silly
