🐠 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 Review

Love it. Super easy to use and read. I love that they come in this plastic container for easy reuse and that there are so many in the box that I always run out.

readings do not match readings on my chemistry test kits, I only bought this for reference between readings on my chemistry test kits. However, I cannot rely on strip results

0 stars. Negative if possible. Each stick has tiny bits of paper that come loose in my tank when I dive. I blew off the paper, did a visual check before dipping to see if there was any debris on it. I can't see anything, but tiny scraps of paper are still coming loose. Do not buy this brand.

I find the water hardness quite strange, it sometimes shows a purple color when it's not even an option. I was concerned it would be inaccurate based on this and some reviews so I bought a more expensive liquid test kit and got similar results with nitrate, nitrite and pH.

I like it very much. You will be robbed if you buy test strips at a pet store. This is definitely the way to go and I can test whenever I want without worrying about wasting money. They're really accurate, but you have to make sure you don't move the wand as they flow into other test squares pretty easily.

We had an African Clawed Frog (Grow-A-Frog) approx. Lived in a 4 gallon aquarium for about 20 years. Recently, it turned out that he was very ill. Changing the water seemed to help. but her symptoms indicated that there might be a nitrate and/or pH problem. These strips helped pinpoint the problem (low pH) and we were able to fix it quite easily. Our frog can live forever. :)

Despite the many stripes in the kit, I can never do just one test. In 25% of the cases, the color change behaves strangely. Sometimes there are spots of different colors on the pads. Yes, I follow the instructions. The pH test is the most unreliable of all, typically reading 6.5-7. A reliable API water test kit (pipette version, not strips) will always show a pH of 7.8-8. I would trust the test. Nitrite and nitrate for a rough estimate, but kh and gh seem pretty weird too as the results vary…

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…
