Anybody Use Nutrafin Test Kits?

[fozziebear]

I can figure out the others. The Nitrite, Ammonia, Phosphate and pH are quite easy to match.. it's just the nitrate that's impossible! I've tested my tank twice tonight hoping for an easier result to read but it's still impossible!!

seriously test it against another nitrate test on your tapwater, it will give you a lot more of an idea of what your nitrate levels are, if all else fails then go to your LFS and get a free water test.

I work at an LFS and the Nutrafin tests are the ones we use!

aahh ok i see lol, my LFS use the Sera master kits.

I will stick with my tetra brand.

I previously used Tetra (until I brought new test kits today). They are a good quality test kit. Just got a great offer on the Nutrafin Master Kit which is why I switched!

Just tested a complety different tank.. still a weird pink colour. It's a joke! I might e-mail Hagen.

Stick to tetra as least you can make there out.

Just e-mailed them. I've included a link to this thread to show it's not just me!

Got a reply from Hagen.

They say that:
1) The test must be put up to natural daylight for the correct results. Articial lights won't work.
2) All the test regeant must be shaken fully for correct results (I did this!)

However, they did also say that they are in the process of re-design their test kits... a little victory!

Daylight is best, if i'm not sure on a paint in a store I ask to look at the colour outside as there can be a lot of difference in artifical lighting.
Well done.

Nice one Timmy!
Good to hear they are redesigning their kits.
