nitrate test kit of choice?
« on: March 29, 2015, 08:15:23 »
Just wondering what test kit most are using for nitrate?  I currently am using salifert and hate the color charts and looking through the colored water to quess which color on the chart it matches.  I would love a hanna checker but I havent seen a nitrate version.
thanks
Jeff

I'm using the Red Sea Nitrate Pro test.  I bought it in a kit from BRS that included the phosphate test when they were on sale.  Overall I like it.  Even though you still have to match colors to get a reading, the color wheel makes it very easy to match.  The downside for me is you have to wait like 5 min or so for the solution to sit before you get an accurate reading.  I think it takes me about 20 minutes to run Nitrate and Phosphate tests.
