I'm currently using the Aquarium Phanmacuticals liquid master test kit, and thier alk. test as well. I've noticed however, that often times the results from my test, the LFS's test, and a buddy's test are different. At times, the differance on my NO3 is over 60ppm between the lowest and highest. Is there a more dependable test on the market that is not too outlandishly priced?? Are the dry tabs perhaps a bit more dependable? Any thoughts in this area are greatly appreciated.

Well, you might not find them in many LFS, but Salifert test kits have a great reputation! LaMotte and Hach are also good high-end tests, but I've heard that they are more difficult to use.

I've been using Salifert exclusively for a while now, and I'll never switch back to the cheaper tests found at most stores. :)
