Hello -

Curious minds would like to know if there is an accurate test strip out there for quick checks versus doing the API drops every day. I have bought 2 different strip tests - Adaptec 9 in 1 and something else 7 in 1 off amazon as well as a separate Adaptec ammonia test strip which, when compared to API drops, wasn't even close on results.

So, is there a true, reliable and accurate strip test out there?

Thanks

There isnt even a true, reliable, accurate liquid test kit. They are home test kits, not laboratory testing. Liquid test kits are more reliably accurate than test strips, but all sorts of things can throw out the best home test kits.
