Good but could be better
By Jhamm on Jun 17, 2020
great quick tests. But they need to have the PH go below 6.0. That is the lowest you can test at and i feel i need to know if it's lower or just at exactly 6.

So much easier
By amlucky on Aug 1, 2019
These are much easier for just a quick reading. I still use the master test kit about once a month or so because it is somewhat more accurate but these strips have been sufficient for weekly testing.

no... don't be me ... buy the real thing
By penjamin on Feb 26, 2019
just no... I dipped it and waited...and nothing the colors stayed the same... either I have some freaky always 0 water in my tank or these things don't work... PetSmart, when i went in with some of my tank water(free water testing), said it was clean and good to go but I had 8ph water, so a quick water change and things should be okay... the silly sticks said I had a perfect 6ph ... I ended up getting the master test just because of this... don't be me... get the real thing...
