"In a study recently carried out, 35 [nitrate] kits from various manufactures were tested under controlled conditions, using solutions with known and calibrated levels [of
nitrate]. Only four of these test kits gave the correct readings. Two failed, even after repeated tests, to give any reading at all. All the other kits read too high; none gave a low reading."

Does this sound familiar to anyone? What
nitrate test kits do you all use? Rob: you mentioned one brand you liked on a show, but i didn't catch the name. How does it do with
nitrate you think?
I have a kit from Aquarium pharmaceudacls Inc., and i
think it works okay. I suspect it is reading to high though, i never see it measure below 10 mg/L unless i test
RO/DI or tap water.
