for checking freshwater aquariums? I seem to recall some members having aquariums & I'm about to setup a sixty gallon tank. Since being a member I now understand the importance of testing & want to do this right.
What's the recommended test kit -

For pools, I love my TF-100. But I don't know anything about fish. You can probably increase the sample size to get more precise measurements than what pool owner care about. Might be helpful for you to post what values are important to you and what range you plan target. Based on that, someone here may be able to help you build your own kit with just the reagents you need.

I assume you have no need to test for CL or salt. So just pH, TA? what about CH? LaMotte does make an ammonia kit.

I believe ammonia & nitrites are the most important. I've had aquariums before but never tested the water & I'm betting that caused the fish to have a shortened lifespan.
