Digital and good accurate water parameter test kits

I personally dont bother testing for nitrates religiously. Once a month is OK. I used to be obsessed with nitrates before but a good DSB, live rock and probiotics will keep it in check

true...i actually would want digital calcium,alkalinity and maybe magnesium as getting the consumption on these is more time consuming and it needs more work than simple things like nitrate and phosphate.


Any one know of calcuim alkalinity or magnesuim digital tests which are reliable?:p oh and dont cost couple grand....

What's EC and CF?
TDS only measures from 10 so that's no good.
Depending on what EC and CF are, it looks like you can only use it for PH and temp.?
 
EC would be the electrical conductivity of the tanks water and TDS starts at 10 and goes upwards so I'm thinking it will work as the tanks water always will have readings inbetween somewhere here as we not testing the R/O water ... CF I'm not sure ... Why couldn't include salinity .... bloody designers not doing their homework properly!

Works fine for PH, but I would not trust it for salinity, it bounces all over the place.

It looked very promising....
perhaps the salinity probe is busted
or perhaps locate the probe in very steady water flow area?
Update us if there is any improvement on the salinity...can be useful when running balling method...for dosing.
