Good instructions, simple process. Make sure to read the results under neutral light, daylight is best.

This Lab pretty much self contained and has the basic tests for your maintenance, I just found it a little difficult to differentiate the various shades of purple and violet for the high PH readings, everthing else worked fine as long as you follow instruction booklet. One final note: one of the bottles was missing a drop nib therefore making it tougher to count drops. I went out and bought a separate dropper to make up for the missing drop nib.

I do like this product, but buy with caution. Make sure that you check the date on the bottles. It will be the last 4 digits of the Lot no. ex:17A0806 -- means the product was manufactured August of 2006. Most chemicals expire within 3 years of this date, sooner if not kept under the right teperatures. Does work well! Nitrate readings are a little hard to be specific on though.

This kit is really something that ALL people who have a marine aquarium should own. It gives you readings on the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate values in your tank, as well as the pH.

Much more accurate than strips

I've tried the strip tests in the past and have found them to be highly inaccurate. Stick with a liquid test kit such as this one.

I've tried test strips (because they're cheaper) but was so sick of their inaccuracy, that I finally decided to put up the money for the liquid test kit. Unlike the strips, it is VERY easy to read the numbers accuraely.
I would recommend these 100% of the time.
