Hi There isnt one test that does all, well not that I know of. I tend to buy mine as I need them as some tests last longer than others. I use aquasafe, they are not that expensive and are easily found in stores like Petstock. I buy Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia, PH and the water harness tests. And dont worry about your spelling!!! Its good to see you on here

you can get ph kits in k-mart for about $5 all the rest can be bought in a ammonia -nitrite-nitrate kit that costs anywhere from $20-$40 depending on accuracy and detail given. there is a 'complete' kit I have not seen for a while that gives GH, KH, PH, ammonia, nitrite nitrate and PH. I think it is a professional kit used BY the LPS and is usually carried in shops with a lot of marine tank stuff. these are around $60-$80 last time I spotted them.

Bumblebee, I brought one of those $80 kits and I found it to be a waste. Half of the tests you use One or two drops and they last forever where as the other tests are gone within a few months. So you end up buying the seperate kits anyway as I havent found anywhere that just sells the replacement of what ever you have used. JMHO

At my lfs I can just buy the bottle of whatever i need to replace... I dont have to buy the whole Kit with the glass tube/instructions etc.... Maybe I am just lucky.... I started off just buying 1 bottle a week until I had all the kits I needed and then I just replace when necessary.... I m due for a new GH tester soon.....That one goes the fastest.
