which testkits should i buy?

Decide for good quality test sets from manufacturers specialised on salt water aquaristics! Due to they might not be standard items at your local dealer, it might be a good idea to purchase them in Aquaristic Online-Shops.

Unfortunately, there are also several test sets, even so called “profi-cases”, available that measure/display at least inaccurately or even totally wrong.

Well established manufacturers of testsets for reef tanks are:

  • Gilbers Umwelttechnik (best available testkits at the moment)
  • Rowa
  • Merck
  • Tropic Marin
  • Salifert
  • Red sea
