Low end brackish or high? Look around a bit. Some test kits have both in them and some of the tests are the same anyway.

Go with the FW API kits.

yeah avoid the temptation of getting the quick dip saltwater/freshwater test strips thinking that they will obviously work for brackish also. I use the api FW one and like to think that I get good readings from it on my low end BW.
