Have used about 20 strips and all are accurate results
The media could not be loaded. I would highly recommend these test strips!I typically purchase my aquarium test strips from a different (and very well-known) company. I decided to give these a try since they were significantly cheaper. I have compared the results of these test strips with the other test strips that I had been using, and the results have been accurate every time. The instructions are clear and reading the results on the comparison chart is extremely easy and straightforward. The shipping was also extremely fast.I will definitely be buying these from here on out!

realiable product
Love this product. I tested against API water test kit for aquarium, and was spot on for PH, Nitrite, Nitrate & Chlorine. Which are the main ones to worry about with shrimp & fish. KH, GH and Alkalinity were showing a little above or below API kit, so not off by much. These strips allow me to do a quick check, twice a week to make sure nothing is off. Then when I do a 30-50% water change, I use API test kit as well. I also love the extra Copper & Iron test. I have planted tank so i need some iron but shrimp & snails, can't have copper and only little iron, so these strips are perfect. Thanks JNW Direct

Good product!
Primary downside, as with most test strips, is that after opening the package, you’ll need to use them within 90 days or so. Their accuracy slowly decreases afterwardsOther than that, good test strips at an affordable price

Loving this
I have three aquariums and I like to do occasional water checks, so test strips are somewhat of a hot commodity for me. Pet stores absolutely price gouge them, and after a while of that I found these for roughly half the price and triple the quantity.Tested them out (Pics above) and they worked just the same as any other strip would except for a couple extra squares that, while I think is cool to have, I'm likely never going to use. Cross referenced the readings with other strips, so these are just as accurate as any other test strips.What I like the most about this, though, is the price and the color chart.Starting with the color chart, other containers I've used have their color chart behind a layer you have to peel back in order to see it, so I shed tears of joy when I saw that this product has the chart easily visible without having to mess with anything. The chart also has very bold and clear markings around the safe areas. I've never had any trouble seeing the markings on other ones I've used, but it's a noticable improvement even to me. It might seem niche, but I can imagine if someone has vision struggles this could help with avoiding to strain their eyes.Now boy howdy, this price had me weeping like Jesus Christ just cured me of leprosy. The pet stores had fooled me into believing that theirs were only 'slightly' expensive at ~$20 for 30 strips. And then I thought I was getting away with HIGHWAY ROBBERY when I found a place that sold 30 for $13. Lo and behold, I find good quality test strips for the same price that I had thought was absolute bottom dollar, and it has more than triple the quantity! I don't know who Mr./Mrs. JNW Direct is, but I've named one of my fish JNW Jr. and I'm naming you as his godfather.So! Overall. Bad news is, I've got a nitrate problem. Good news is, after saving all this money, I'm a man who feels like a freshly made millionaire with a nitrate problem. This must be what it feels like to cry in a Lamborghini. 5/5 Stars.

Good for quick checks!
I’m a worrying person and these are perfect for quick checks throughout the week. No they are not as accurate as API test kit, but they can definitely let you know if something is seriously off.I looked at a lot of different types of these and found these and the Tetra strips to be the best overall rated. Tetra strips are more expensive though.I have had no quality issues and only a few issues with figuring out what color it was closer too. I found making sure you have a good bright light above is very helpful.I will continue to use these throughout the week until the give me a reason not to.

Inaccuracy caused me to lose fish.
I have been obsessively testing the water (several times a day) because it’s a new tank, all of the test strips have come out beautiful other than some high ph. This morning I woke up to 2 of my fish acting strange - lethargic, laying on their side but would swim away erratically if nudged. Of course I tested the water immediately, again the strip came out beautiful. Later in the day I unfortunately lost one of the fish and the other one this evening. I took the fish to my LFS as they offer a refund if the fish passes within 30 days as long as you bring a sample of the tank water they can test and it shows that the water parameters are within normal limits. They preformed the test in front of me and I began balling my eyes out when I saw there was high nitrites and nitrates. These test strips showed 0. I went and bought the API master test kit and tested my water. The one thing that these test strips showed me was that the pH was high, on the API test kit it was the only thing normal.Please if you are going to spend money on a test just spend a little bit extra money and time for something accurate so you aren’t unknowingly killing your fish.I did a good water change and I’m monitoring my other guys closely but I am truly heart broken over this.

Easy to use
I'm an mature but these test strips are easy to use and understand. Great value for the price. Can't beat them .

Hard to read
These are not good test strips. They seem to skimp on The reagent and the color is so light. It’s hard to read. I can barely tell the difference between water from the tap, freshly filtered water, and tank water that needs to be changed. However inexpensive these are, they are overpriced for the quality. Stick to an actual brand – one that cares about your repeat business.
