What do you think?

Wal-mart has these 2 water test kits for sale (look at the bottom of the page). Both of them got pretty high ratings. Are they any good? Which one is the best?

It looks like the second one (the $17 one) is an API test kit, which is highly recommended by people on this site. I've got one and I'm very happy with it. I think it's worth the extra 2 bucks and go for one that people recommend the most.
On a side note, you might have to order it from their website, as I know a lot of walmarts (at least where i live) don't carry a lot of the fish items...

It looks like it's API, but I noticed it doesn't say it contains tests for ammonia or nitrate, both of which should be tested.

However, reading the reviews one says the description is deceiving and it does contain ammonia and nitrate tests but not GH/kh testing as indicated.
