Chelsea-Lee GaudreaultChelsea-Lee Gaudreault: It doesn’t make sense that one bottle is expiring 02/24 and the other one 03/2026. Is it even from the same batch? Probably not. Hopefully it will work further than for 5 months…

Sam N.: This comes with one api glass tube which is nice if you did not buy the master test kit and do not have any tubes. Also nice to get another one since they are fragile. Same stuff that in master kit, but without buying the kit.

Moisés G.: Me fue de mucha utilidad para medir parámetros de GH y KH en mi acuario en mi país cuesta mucho conseguir este tipo de productos y se utilizan tiras reactivas si embargo estas no me parecen muy precisas

Katie Reed: I’m a beginner beta owner and still learning what’s best for my little guy, this test really helps make sure he’s in healthy water after his water changes. It is a pretty penny but it’s worth it.

Jess: This has been handy to check the GH and KH of our tap water and the aquarium water (so I know whether I need to adjust the tap water for the tank or not before even doing water changes).
Only downside was one of the glass test tubes cracked real easy when I was trying to syringe tank water into it.

Sean Byrne: We use rain water for replacing the water in our aquariums, which naturally is very clear unlike our tap water at times. One problem however is that rain water lacks nutrients and carbonate hardness, so I need to add supplements. This GH and KH kit lets me keep an eye on these levels.
The kit includes two bottles and two test tubes with caps. At a first glance it appears simple to use, i.e. with a 5ml sample in the test tube, add a drop of solution, cap and shake, then repeat until the colour changes. In reality, the cap is very stiff to place on the test tube. After repeating the steps a few times, some liquid ran down the outside of the test tube and as I tried capping it, it slipped from my fingers, flew across the table and smashed on the floor.
Once I managed to test the KH and GP and using a paper towel to dry the test tubes before capping after each drop, the test reading itself is very simple - The colour changes from blue to yellow for the KH reading or from green to yellow for the GH reading. It includes a chart that shows the readings for the number of drops added. Personally I would prefer if it included a bung instead of a cap as it is quite tedious...
