Tetra EasyStrips 100 Count, Ammonia Test Strips For aquariums, Water Testing, Model Number: 19541

I've never had an issue with these strips. They are easy to read. I've also tested with a master test kit and feel confident that this test strips are accurate. One thing that can be improved would be to add a dispenser that pulls out a single strip. When you are testing multiple tanks your hands get wet and I'm always afraid I'm going to contaminate the rest of the strips while I fight for another strip. I now pull out 4 strips and close the container.

I was having trouble with amonia spikes in some of my tanks where there were not any fish for a while, upon placing fish in these tanks they would immediately go into distress which was hard on the fish. After using this test I am able to ascertain the stability of the aquariums prior to adding fish. The test is very accurate but I just test to see if the test is yellow which equates to 0 ppm of Amonia. Another reason I like this test is that it is so easy to use, no mixing, no bottles of testing solution, just a quick swish of the test strips and compare the color match to the chart.

I initially bought the Tetra 6-in-1 and Tetra ammonia strips as a set of 25 each, and I've since ordered the 100-strip containers of both kinds of test strips. They take little time, are very easy to read and the results have matched the more complicated liquid tests I've performed. I briefly used a different brand of ammonia strips and the Tetra is easier and quicker to use by far. Because they are so easy to use, I test the water often and am able to head off trouble. The strips don't provide exact numbers, but do indicate when the water quality is safe or when caution needs to be used because the water may soon become stressful for the fish - which is all I really need to know.

Works well compared to the API test kit but is a little hard to differentiate colors when reading results

Works great and accurate

Good for getting a reasonably accurate test. They are fast and easy to use which means you're probably more likely to use them. Let's face it testing water parameters isn't one of the fun parts of the aquarium hobby but it's necessary. The simpler the better and these strips are simple.

Started fish-in cycling a 75g tank (heavily planted), with about 45 fish. These strips worked great for daily (sometimes 2x per day) monitoring for the first month...accurate and quick to use...I don't even own a master test kit - no lost fish or signs of illness or stress. The strips gave / give me the ability to react quickly with more frequent water changes, Stability, Prime, etc...These will be the only test strips I ever use...

For these on Amazon you get 100 for if I remember correctly $12 and at the pet store they are $20 for 20. Highly recommend getting these off Amazon.
