Maurice Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hi Soothing Shrimp, I have found the ADA kit to be the most accurate from all I have used The other brands used were API and Nutrafin. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks for the info Maurice. ADA ph test kits are hard to come by in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillznglass Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 API works well. Seachem has a great line too. They both test the same for me. So that is the only way I can compare them. I don't have a PH meter calibrated to a solution, so it is hard to tell how on they are. They do however give the same exact ph that a lab tested my neighbors well water at. I tested their water to compare. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the info Maurice. ADA ph test kits are hard to come by in the US. It is the same one that comes with their drop checker. you can get it separately as well. Aqua Forest carries them http://www.adana-usa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I got the Elos kit once. Pricey and not a big improvement over API - I have more trouble with liquid colorimetric tests than dry ones. I always get colors that don't look like anything printed on the card. I need to check my probe or I'd check them all against each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I bought the ADA test kit. We'll see how well it works. I'm just tired of my pinpoint right now. Calibrations, solutions, life of probes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 ^-^ That would be why my primary mode of testing is dip sticks. They are easy to use, easy to read, and have never given me a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
