Review on Enhanced Aquarium Test Kit – Tetra EasyStrips for Complete Aquarium Testing by Brittany Howard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost exactly what I needed. Nearly.

I ordered this for a quick and dirty test for my reef aquarium that will tell me in under a minute if anything could be seriously wrong and if it's time to get out of the big test break out, which takes longer. This kit seemed ideal to me as it had almost all my necessary parameters. But. I'm deducting a star because while these strips should be sufficient for my needs, nowhere in the product literature does it mention that some of the tests are for freshwater only. GH and chlorine are not intended for seawater. I understand chlorine. Remove all chlorine from the water before mixing the salt. This shouldn't be a problem since I use RO/DI and test the chloramine before it goes into my tank. However, not being able to test my GH is a bit of a kick in the ass because I can't use it to ensure my GH/dKH dual maintenance mode is working as I hoped. As mentioned above, this will not be a problem for me at all, except that nowhere in the product is it mentioned that I could see that GH is only suitable for fresh water.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • I'll add later
