Tetra Test 6-in-1 Strips Aquarium to Test 6 Essential Water Quality Parameters in Less Than 60 Seconds, Pack of 25

Great product and easy to use especially with the app and your phone to read the strips after use to give you the readings, ideal for beginners. Will buy again and very happy with the number in pack.

These test strips are great, would highly recommend. They’re easy to use and work quickly. The only thing I would say is don’t bother downloading the app which claims it can read the results - depending on the light you take the picture in it records it completely wrong and provides inaccurate advice on how to ‘correct’ things. Trust your eyes and compare the test trip to the chart on the bottle itself :)

Easy to use. Clear instructions and clear interpretation chart on the tube. I got this brand because it said the results could be read by an app. The app isn't that great, sometimes the app will read something as off and in need of attention but when I check against the tube all is good. But the app is handy for keeping a log of readings. Though I think we will be getting log book as you cant note fish stocks etc in the app. The app is also very slow and you need to ensure you are under strong artificial light to get it to take a good photo. So no complaints about the test strips themselves just annoying that the app isn't great, I thought the app would add extra confidence as I've not kept fish in a very long time and my Dad did all the maintenance side but actually it's not really worth it. So I have had to knock a star off because of the bad app.

I want to start this review saying one thing - many people criticise the strip based test kits as being inaccurate and say water test kits should always be used. I have a very well established fish tank that's huge, and these test kits amply give enough accuracy for general day to day water checking. You're never going to have the accuracy of a water test kit from these, and I would recommend anyone who is cycling a new tank or has problems with a current one to look at the more expensive water test kits. HOWEVER, as I said before, general day to day checking with these straps gives enough accuracy to test the water if you're doing it say weekly, just to check the water is ticking over nice and fish safely. They are good value and a good way to keep an eye on levels such as nitrate (which is scarily high in tap water, plants that eat nitrates are important if you're not using special water such as reverse osmosis), pH, water hardness etc. Just to add a last thing, different varieties of fish like drastically different water conditions, though with UK treated tap water I found the water here (Dorset) is perfect for pleco, mollies, fan tailed guppies, angelfish, corydoras and tetra. Always make sure your water is in the right parameters and at the right temperature and you'll be amazed how long your fish will live! Our pleco fish are only a year old, approx 14 to go!

Great little product, simply dip in your aquarium and within minutes you can get a rough idea of how good, or poor your water quality is. Will need a separate test for NH³ Ammonia though. Tests for PH, GH, KH, NO², NO³ and Cl levels. Easy to hold strips up to colour chart on the packaging to get an at a glance idea of your Aquarium parameters. There is a downloadable app to assist in reading your test results which has the potential to be more accurate, however it is strictly dependent on your phone camera and ambient lighting quality. Can give mixed readings so dont rely too heavily on it. It is great for keeping record of past results though and you can edit the readings manually to keep a 'diary' as it were. Oddly the app gives me mixed readings for CO² levels which I dont think is actually tested for on the strip lol. Overall a pretty handy piece of equipment to have for responsible fish keeping 👍👍

The water from dipping them bled into each of the colours so couldn’t make out readings properly. Kept it still as dipping but still bled into eachother

The strips are very easy to use and one can quickly assess water quality . The colour coded tube that contains the test strips means that it is simple to line the used strip against the tube and see what the various readings are . Two shakes of a fish's tail and the process is complete . Ideal product and I heartily recommend to other fish keepers .

Just as described - thanks!

Goed produkt

Ich nutze den Tetra Test 7in1 regelmäßig für mein Aquarium und bin absolut zufrieden. Der Test funktioniert einwandfrei und liefert schnell die wichtigsten Wasserwerte. Die Teststreifen lassen sich leicht handhaben und zeigen die Werte zuverlässig an. Das absolute Highlight ist die dazugehörige App. Man scannt den Teststreifen einfach ein, und die App wertet das Ganze digital aus. Das verhindert lästiges Raten beim Farbvergleich. Wenn mal ein Wert nicht optimal ist, liefert die App direkt konkrete Tipps und Handlungsempfehlungen zur Wasseraufbereitung. Das macht das Ganze besonders für Einsteiger extrem leicht verständlich.

I also like the price

Doet wat het moet doen. Makkelijk je water testen en goed uit te lezen.
