Test strips won't give you an accurate reading, they'll be a complete waste of money.

I'd strongly advise upping your budget by a fraction more and get the API master test kit, it's got a great reputation and I think most of the people who use this forum use this test kit

Definitely not the strip kits, they're not accurate and a waste of money.

I use that nutrafin drop kit, very good, reliable results. When it eventually runs out though, I'll get the API one.

For that small amount extra it's silly not to get the API one. It's easy to use, make sure you read the booklet well if you're not sure but if you get stuck just ask

Another vote for the API freshwater master test kit. It's worth every penny.
