Alternative test kits

Last time I posted this question it was removed. What is everybody's opinion on the test kits commonly available?? I hate the color charts and can't believe they are very accurate. My nitrates are always between 0 & 5 ppm, usually closer to 0, but that's based on my opinion. Is there a better test kit available? Something less subjective. Even though I show 0 nitrates, I still have a pretty heavy cyano bloom.

Salifert. Its still a color chart but an accurate one.

Salifert or SeaChem are very good test kits.

Salifert makes nice test kits. I "think" many also like the RedSea test kits as well.

I use the salifert.
