TetraEasyStrips, Complete Aquarium Test Strips, Water Testing, 25 Count

I decided to test these strips against my API liquid test kit because I kept hearing bad things about strip water tests, but they seem to work just fine. I have consistently gotten similar results with both testing methods. The liquid test is more precise, as it's easier to see the difference between say 20 and 30ppm of nitrates; but if you're just looking for a pretty close estimate, these strips work fine. They're also quicker and easier to use for beginners or in a pinch.

It was easy to read the guide on the bottle and worked to help gauge the levels in my water. You get several strips. Will buy again.

First of all, these are very easy to use. The ammonia tests are just dip for 15 secs, shake and look. The other test is a dip and wait a minute.I have backed up both for accuracy with a second test kit. These are basically accurate but do not really have a wide range of colors. This is problematic when setting up a tank and you try to see if any particular range is going up or down. The colors on the strip are just too similar to tell.For instance, the ammonia for 1ppm looks very close to 5ppm. It is very hard to tell the difference. These are all better served as an occasional check to make sure everything is ok once the filter is cycled and working. Possibly use it after adding fish just to see if anything spikes.These are much better at detecting whether something is there than how much. Get a better test kit for that. These are; however, easier and quicker to use once a tank is up and running just to check things.

Good brand and good value. Colors are clear and bottle has good comparison. Instructions simple.

Works great and it is so simple. Definitely recommend. Only thing that was kind of annoying was that on the all in 1 bottle it took me like 5 minutes to peel it open to see the test colors to compare the strips to (it's pretty thin and I guess my fingernails are too short). But at the end of the day that's probably better since there is no risk of "losing it", and too petty of a thing to detract a star.

these strips are a great way to check and see how your tank is doing. cut them in half lengthwise to double your count!

The product as shown on website has 7 in one test capacity (nitrate,clorine, hardness,ph, nitrate , alkalinity), but in the actual delivery i initially thought is only 6 parameter , ammonia is missing. but then i discovered that ammoniA strips are separately packed though packing is almost same as of other 6 in one strips

Amazon has the best price for these compared to pet stores! I use these when I do my Betta’s water changes.
