Test kits at reasonable prices

Ok, after all that reading concerning planted tanks - my mind is spinning with lesson plan ideas for individual testing of standard Aquarium levels....

Ahhhhhhh - Nitrates vs Nitrites vs Ammonia - CO2 levels changing w/daylight - O2 levels - pH levels - Carbonates, Sulfates, etc...... This Chemistry teacher is now laughing evilly as her eyes gleam with everything her students shall learn.

So, where can I find the best prices on testing kits?

lol nice idk where u can get a cheap one, walmart may hav a test kit i know that they hav the individual ones but petco and petsmart has them maybe round 20

I got a freshwater master test kit at petsmart for 27.99 it test everything and is good for over 800 tests.

i just purchased the same test kit online for $18.

I like the tetra laborett, its roughly $20. Its your ammonia, ph, kh, gh.... and a few other tests, anything more specialized you will need to find a planted tank test kit, not sure how much those run but they have the O2, CO2, iron.... and several of the other test that relate to the planted tank.

test kits are expensive. maybe check ebay.

check with bigals or dr. foster and smiths for the API freshwater master kit. They usually go for 19.99.

they are $18 on petmountian.com but they have messed up my last few orders so i am not sure about them anymore!!!!!

Walmarts 'generic' freshwater master test kit is actually the API kit, and it's under 20 dollars shipped to home. I don't think shipping cost was factored in on some of the recommendations.
