just got this off amazon. i was shocked that it had the nitrite/nitrate/pH tests all in one kit. it almost got a perfect 10 star rating so i said what the heck. hopefully it will work good.

That is one of the better hobby grade test kits...good choice and good price too.....

Make sure and shake, bang and shake some more before you use the #2 nitrate bottle...it settles when it is sitting on the shelf and can give a false or inaccurate reading on the nitrate....
