Just wondering if anyone could point me on to a Good Test kit to test all the things I need for my tank. I think I am having some major issues with it and I need to test alot of different things. Just wondering if there was a kit that someone has used that has "everything" like ph, nitrates, calcium, and all that good stuff in it. Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know there is nothing that complete. The most complete test kit (that I know of) is the Aquarium Pharm Master Saltwater Test Kit that includes High Range pH, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammmonia. The rest I would guess you will have to buy individually.

Ditto--that's what we purchased, and then got separately tests for calcium, alk, phosphates, and one other....Can't think of it right now.
I got the Hagen Master kit which has:
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
pH
calcium
kh (alkalinity)
gh
phosphate
iron
It all comes in a cool case to store everything and hold it while ya use it... got it for like $40.00 at Big Al's... HIGHLY recommended!
Here is Hagen's Info on it... (http://www.hagen.com/usa/aquatic/product.cfm?CAT=1&SUBCAT=124&PROD_ID=01078600020101)
Big Al's ASWO#1985, make sure ya don't click on the Canadian page, else the price will scare ya =)

Since I've been at this site I have learned alot about testing. I for one was mislead about testing. My tank has been up and running for two year and I only test for the four basic things; ph, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite.
The things I thought I was doing right, in fact I was not. I hope I can learn more and soon be of some help to other members. Well I too like to thank everyone for all their input.
