For NO3 & PO4 I prefer Salifert. I have tested them against API against calibrated samples and they are more reliable and accurate.
API Ca, dKH, dGH, and ammonia seem very consistent.

Salifert for Nitrate is soooo much less tedious to use than API!
Add drops & powder, swirl for 30 sec. - done.

Coming from saltwater. There are so many test kits available. I have many of the various ones Hanna checkers are really good and very easy to use.
As is the Exact iDip testing system.

These two testing systems work great and make it easy to read the value.
An if you have both salt and freshwater you just use different reagents.
