After being a marine/reef hobbyist for many years, testing is one thing that is drilled into pretty much all hobbyists, it's very much a test test test community, with things like dedicated ICP (Inductively coupled plasma) labs popping up from a number of companies.
Now I know on this forum that test kits are not recommended, and there accuracy and reliability is said to be poor.
My question is, for people like me who enjoy testing/gizmos etc, are there any reasonably priced, but more importantly accurate ways to test our water? For me personally nitrate would be a good one to be able to reliably test, but all of the macro and possible micro nutrients would be nice.
