[Confidence]

Hey guys i have these test strips i use for my pool and hottub, will they work with a fish tank?

GLB made for pool and spa test strips

test for

Total bromine
Chlorine
Alkalinity - - IS THIS THE SAME AS AMMONIA?
Ph

Will these work for a tank or is it just for pools and spas jsut curious cuz i had them laying around, and what is an ideal ph for a game fish tank

I would invest in a good test kit that uses drops instead of test strips. I assume they work on the same basic principals but the strip can be less accurate.

API Freshwater Master Kit, retails for about $30 and has approx. 800 tests per kit. Tests ph, High Range ph, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate levels.

I had my water tested a few weeks ago at petco with one of those strip tests. After the strip tests I had tests done with the drops that showed stuff the strips did not pick up. I had a little ammonia and nitrates barely appeared on the strip while in the API test it showed I was at 25-30 ppm. I'd recommend the drops as well.

whats a safe level of ph for game fish? also... when there is ammonia and nitrates in the water is that a liquid drop to cure it to 0?
