Nitrate test kits

[Jon]

I’m curious as to what nitrate test kit people use and like. I have the Hannah test kit but it’s a little too involved for my liking.
Thanks

You might give the NYOS a shot. People like it because the coloration, which is pale yellow to dark orange, is much easier to read the results than the purples that the other test kits have. The breakpoints on mine are 0, 1, 3, 5, 12, 25, 40, 65, 95 and 160.

If you need low readings use red sea nitrate.test is long but reads low nitrate 5 and under

API freshwater kit, then I just add some table salt to the testing tube to compensate.
Its helped me learn that my nitrates, phosphates, ph, Alk, Ca, etc... are all over the place, sometimes even hour to hour.

Easy is what we like. The easier it is the more frequent you get it done...

If you truly want easy. Get a bot. Can use pretty much any test kit. And it does everything except refills the solution bottles. Also more accurate at reading the results than you or I. Not cheap. But it’s may be my favorite piece of equipment. It has taken the hassle and inaccuracy out of my hand and sends all the results to my phone. Love it
