Best Test Kits Thread..?!

[cowgum]

My Sera Nitrate test kit also always showing high nitrate. Found out after changing water twice and still showing same results. So I bought a Red Sea Nitrate test kit. It shows 0 nitrate...the colour differnce is good, having results of 0, 2.5, 5, 10...

Bought for $17. Think its damm cheap for its quality

I would also reconmend Seachem Ph & Alkalinity test kit. One of the best i have seen. Testing is done on a pallet dish, requiring only couple of drops of water. There six shallows allowing multiple testing. The Ph testing is normal except that it has a useful sliding colour reference. The Alkalinity test is done dropping, drops/2 is the result in mg/l

Sorry for the lengthy discription. Just wanna complain abt Sera for causing many wasted hours and money on salt.

Hi frds

I have a JBL KH test..is it good?..but the instructions not very clear.

Can anyone who have this explain how it works.

Is the solution supposed to turn yellow b4 I stop adding drops into the test kit?

plsease help

Got the JBL KH test kit over the weekend.

The colour should be blue at 1st drop if dKH present.

Count the no of dos need to change the LIGHT BLUE colour from to orange Yellow-Orange

As you mentioned, it turn yellow-orange after the 1st drop.

ur dKH must be very very low. 1 dKH

Currently Using the following Test Kit

JBL PH

JBL No2

JBL KH

Salifer CA

Dont worry ,

I would strongly suggest that you try out XGLARE TEST KITS.

As they have proven to be as good as salifert BUT pricing wise would be much more cheaper.

Should be able to purchase them from
