What would you like to test? PH is easy with a little digital pen but it is generally excepted amongst forum members that a lot of liquid test kits don't work very well and are very likly to give false reading.
It seems that most test kits can be influenced by other factors or chemical within the tank and won't pass you the true infomatsion you are looking for!
Test kits are useless in a planted tank, the only thing you can test for is Nitrite (in the beginning to see if it's safe for fish), pH (a pen is the best option for this) and KH (I use Salifert).
Really: Thats really good to hear coming from a full reef tank which I had to test for everything weekly and some daily. I will be quite nice to only have to test two things.
You only test for KH and pH to tune in your CO2, after that's done you seldom have to test..... I think my last time I've tested was 3 months ago, plants tell you what is wrong, just need to learn to listen to them.
