Water test kits

[Mnemic]

Ok, I'm looking into the various kits and all these tests, and the typical "Box Description" on various web sites is not helping any.

Doing a search for "Water Test Kits" doesn't yield much either, so I'm askin the other reefers out there about them...


Which ones are easy to use, read, and don't require a lab of test-tubes, eye droppers, bunson burners, Hazard Boxes etc..etc..


I'm trying to find a kit that will do what I need it to do with the greatest of ease... I really don't like testing water as its really aggrivating.

If there is anything like "dip this in some water, changes color, refer to chart" I can deal with that, but having to measure out 2 "spoons" of this chemical with 5 ml water, mix with 10 drops of Bottle A, wait 1 min, mix in 5 drops of bottle B.... BLAH
you get the ideal.. I don't like those....

I'm also looking for devices to do electronic tests for various things as well.


So Please share your expereinces with diffrent test kits/gear that simplifies your life of water testing as well.

I'd rather enjoy my tank then spend 30 mins testing the water

Thanks

Is that the brand of it? Quick Dip?

I've seen lots of test kits at a few web sites, but none called that.. all the one's I've seen have what looks to be Bottles A-Z :/
