    acid and base tests

    Hi, I am purchasing my first chemical test kit and am debating between the TF100 and the K-2006. From what I can tell, the only real difference is the larger reagents in the TF100 but the lack of the acid and base demand tests. My question is, do I need the acid and base demand tests, or are...
