So I bought a couple of tests from one of the complete labs over the web. The results of my frag tank water are below. I am going to test my display tank as soon as I can get Nitrites back in control.
I'll be honest, this is not cheap, but know I know my home testing is good. A test like this costs ~$50
Please let me know if you are interested as I can get a free test
for referring peeps!
Very cool
