AAwipes 8-in-1 Aquarium Test Kit for Fish Tanks - Quick & Accurate Water Testing Strips for Aquariums & Ponds. Tests pH, Ammonia, Alkalinity, Hardness, Chlorine, etc. (K02-50)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The price is most important and after using it, it very simple and accurate, helps me greatly to assure my fishes live healthy and I don’t wasted money.

I think in comparison to other test strips it is most accurate. My only concern is that it doesn't read carbonate.Other Test Strips have carbonate but do vary in readings i.e 40 ppm instead of 80ppm alkalinity. Some use Blue chlorine reader vs. Pink. Ect.Again I felt this reader to be most accurate out of the 5 I've tried... based off of the Fish's/Turtles behavior of course.

Works well. It’s very fast, they come with a lot of strips, and easy to tell what color is on each one. Good value for your money! Heard that the liquid test works better but this does the job just fine and way cheaper!

Happy with the product. Compared results with other tests and they are consistent.

I've had these for almost a year and they still work (I was almost worried they didn't, because I wasn't getting any nitrite or nitrate, but I started a new tank and I did see some). I had my water electronically tested at a fish shop and the results matched these strips. Sometimes the colors for pH and hardness are difficult to read, but it gets the job done.

I have an electronic tester to compare ph and this stuff is close. It shows the other parameters as well. It is as good as the paper probes could be.

These test strips give false results and kept killing all of my fish, shrimp, and snails! I used them for months, with them telling me everything in my water was at good levels. I tried so many things trying to figure out why my animals in the tank kept dying. Well, turns out these test strips were giving completely incorrect results for the quality of my tank water! So I had no idea that several values needed to be adjusted for my animals. After I started to suspect that the test strips might not be accurate, I decided to experiment a bit. Two examples of very clearly incorrect results I got from these experiments: The strips said there was no chlorine in my unfiltered tap water when I know there is. Then it also did not detect any chlorine in a cup of bleach water. In a cup of dirty crystal cat litter mixed into water, the strips said there was no ammonia. Then in a cup of literal cleaning ammonia, again the strips said there was no ammonia. I tried several test strips for these experiments and none found any chlorine or ammonia. None of the strips were able to detect any chlorine or ammonia whatsoever in any sample tested. Other factors tested were also inaccurate and different strips showed varying results for the same test samples.After months I finally have an answer for why my animals kept dying; these strips telling me my water parameters were great when in reality there were several adjustments that needed to be made. If I had used better test strips, I could have fixed the problems sooner and not lost so many fish. Of course, because I assumed the strips were working for so long, by the time I realized they were bad test strips it was too late to return them. But I hope this helps someone else.

They work but it is difficult following the color matching. New to having a professional beta fish tank, I had to go online to get an understanding of what each indicator on the color strip means. Also used YouTube for help. I owned a Beta years ago and never had to go thru all the fuss of testing the water, setting up a fish tank. Livingston had a very large fish bowl and lived for nearly 4 years. Functionality of the product is why I gave this product 3 stars. Ease of use: No. Had water tested at big box store and that's when I decided to go to YouTube for a better understanding.
