Okay, what's the deal...I understand that for this cheap these test kits aren't as accurate as they could possibly be, but for me to get three different readings from three different test kits is ridiculous. I mean these readings weren't even close So, the question becomes which one is the most accurate? I know all of you will chime in with Salifert or Lamotte....Okay, but how do you know for sure? I've seen a bunch of people recommend these as "very accurate" and they probably have no real idea as to their test kits accuracy! Have you tested your personal results agains some sort of colorimeter or spectrophotometer? (Can you tell that all the mythinformation I've read is a little frustrating).....And if your so sure, why do all and I mean, everyone that I've been to, LFS's use Tetra to test the water....Then they turn around and say, "No your water is reading this and not what you say its reading" So I stand there like an idiot and go, okay I give in, I guess its my test kits that are reading wrong.....Cause you know all LFS's think they are the god of testing and that there's no way on earth that their kit could be the one that's possibly reading wrong! .....okay thanks I feel better now!
