Review on 🐠 AQUALUNA 6-in-1 Aquarium Test Strips for Freshwater and Saltwater - Fish Tank Test Kit to Monitor pH, Nitrate, Nitrite, General Hardness, Free Chlorine, and Carbonate - 100 Count by Jennifer Garcia

Don't bet your fish's life on test strips

I have been an aquarist for many years and should have known better. I believed some of the reviews on these strips and thought they were more accurate than in the past. Big mistake. They had a month and in that time I lost 2 Mollies, 2 Swordtails and 3 Clown Chars after many years without any losses. I finally became suspicious of the test strips after two consecutive tests showed my nitrates first at 0 and then at very high levels. So I did what we all have to do and bought a new core API test kit. My nitrates may be zero, but my pH was 8.0! These strips gave me a consistent reading of 7.2 for several weeks. Expensive experiment. NEVER USE *ANY* TEST STRIPS - THEY ARE NOT ACCURATE!

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Good but not great
