Easy to use and does the job well.
Having an outdoor pond, I need to regularly check on the water conditions for my Bristol Shubunkins.
Previous experience with test strips wasn't good, since the test patches were small and difficult to read.
Looking at the various 'Full' test kits available, I was surprised on the reviews for the product.
Whilst it looking a little daunting when it arrived.
Techno Babble was minimal and the instructions were clear, concise and step by step. Simplicity itself.
The colour comparison chart is big enough to hold the sample against to compare results.
Maybe a test tube holder would be good, for the longer tests, but these are available on e-bay at a cheep price.
Overall, whilst you can buy more expensive kits why bother ?
This works great for me, and I hope for everyone else who gets one.Read full review...

Nothing to complain about
Simple to use. The amount of drops you need to add to the test water is labeled on the bottle, unlike other products that i have been using. So if you have a short memory like me and some times forget how many drops i need to add, there is no need to look it up in the manual.
And i like that there is a pH test that also measures high range pH, in addition to the normal one. Perfect for checking the parameter in for example a Tanganyika aquarium.
Will buy again.Read full review...

Great, easy to use test kit.
Easy to use. A great way to take the guesswork out of water quality. The box lasted me over a year with two tanks. If I hadn't been cycling them and having to test the water frequently it would easily have lasted me longer.Read full review...

Easy to use , easy to read.
Comprehensive testing kit. Only thing
missing is a pipette. As difficult to fill test tubes to correct level with tank water.

Comes with a good reputation
I purchased this kit based on generally good comments on main aquarists' forums. It was to replace a Nutrafin kit that was past it's use by date and recording zero nitrates. So far the kit has shown consistent results and is very easy and quick to use. The box helps keep everything in it's place, although the lid isn't a tight fit. There are four test tubes with tight fitting caps that stops liquid from leaking onto your fingers when you shake the tubes (unlike the Nutrafin kit).
It loses a star for a few small points....1. No pipette or place to store one (unlike the Nutrafin kit). 2. all of the reagent bottles had a 2022 use by date except for the 2nd ammonia bottle, for some strange reason had a 2020 use by date???? 3. I find the colour chart for nitrates 10ppm and 20ppm to be virtually identical in colour and impossible to distinguish between the two when holding the test tube against it. Otherwise a good kit for the price.Read full review...

API test kit.
This product is good! I use it to test my aquariums once a week. I find them to be more accurate than the test strips that are available.
The only downside is like all test kits they are a bit on the pricey side in my opinion.
Although they claim to do so many tests that is the total amount. When you have a few set ups weekly testing becomes an expensive thing as each individual test does not last long - especially if a problem occurs in your water parameters e.g should you get a Nitrate spike ten drops of each of the two bottles required for this test does not go far, whereas the PH only requires three drops per test.
Overall a better and more accurate product than strips. Read full review...

Very happy with product
Good value for money, seems intimidating at first with all the different products and test tubes. In reality they have made the chemistry very simple while providing lots of information.
