Well today, I visited an lfs outside my area which stocked the Aq pharmaceutical freshwater master test kit. Sick to death of my neutrafin drops and insoluable dry tabs, I got it.
But, the surprise was the PH came out at only 7.4 (tank and tap) compared to both the other kits which had readings of around 8.0 - 8.2. Hmmmm It seems quite a gap. Also the GH is way high as London is built on limestone so I would have expected the PH to be a little higher based on that, too.
Would you guys rely on the Aq P above the others?

Ive only ever used the nutrafin and esha test strips. I didnt like the nutrafin at all.

Hi Pixie,the only test kit that I really use on a regular basis,has been the Aq.pharmaceutical Test Kit. I've been pleased with them,but they're only one of two that I 've tried other than test strips.

Thanks, oh faithful ones I'll stick with my new kit although the discrepancy between PH values kinda bugs me......

Well heck,that would freak me out a little bit too! Just for peace of mind,check the expiration on your new Test Kit. Worse come to worse,you could always take a reading-then take a sample to the LFS,and see if it comes close enough to what you got.---Just a thought...

Good thinking Captain.....
Mucho grazias
