What water test kit do you guys use for your brackish setups, I have been using the strip tests but feel they aren't specific enough..... I'm UK based so something I can get over here too would be good

Look for Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Test Kits. The only one that is different from the FW tests for BW, is the SW test kit. Not sure if it's available there though.

Thanks PP

, even though I have had my puffers for a year and they look healthy enough I still worry over them, I never thought owning a puffer could bring so many emotions and stresses at times

.... wouldn't change it though

I've got the FW set so they do ship over here, check your LFS or good old froogle

I've been using Nutrifin liquid kits for a while now and like them.

Thanks again for the info....

I found this on fleabay Master Test Kit would this one be okay to get?

That one is good but pretty much all you need is ammonia, nitrite, nitrate (which isn't in there) & pH. The FW test kit will not work in higher BW. Once your tank is established, the one you'll be using the most is nitrate.

yeah get bidding and look for a nitrate test kit. They do them seperately too so you should have no problem getting them
