Test Kit Review and General Info
Been meaning to do a thread like this for a while. Few pointers.....
--> Price is based on cheapest i can find (new product), it's either off the shop floor at a Maidenhead Aquatics, from e-bay (price includes postage) or from another on-line store (price includes postage). So if you are looking to buy a test kit, try not to pay above the price i have quoted, because if you look hard enough you will find the said kit at this price (including postage where required).
--> They are all liquid tests, with the exception of the Interpet which i believe are tablets? I haven't tried Interpet tests as of yet. I dont like test-strips at all, will make a reference to them later.
--> I am just covering Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate testing. I do test for pH, General Hardness and Carbonate Hardness but have not used enough of a variety of kits to comment right now.
--> It's freshwater i am referring to, i dont keep and never have kept marine fish/set-up's.
--> I have not used all the kits mentioned here, this will be included in the comments i make about each kit.
--> Please (obviously) feel free to add comments and share your experiences with relevant test kits, this could include test kits i have not covered (i.e. pH, hardness, phosphates etc)
Okay first up will be Ammonia testing, to follow...........................
