    Water chemistry test kits?

    I've been using these all-in-one sticks, i think from API. I'm about out of them and either need to reorder or try something else. I like the convenience of the all-in-ones but I wonder how accurate they are. Any recommendations? Marlin Sent from my SCH-I545 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
