*CORRECTION: Add 5 drop for high pH and not 3! That was a mistake on my part.

This is better than most tutorials out there. Short and to the point. Thanks, this really helped!

Thank you for making this video! It was a lot more helpful for me than just reading the directions. I feel a lot more confident testing my tank now. We recently had 2 fish die and according to the strips, everything is fine, so this will be a lot more accurate.

This is my first formal tutorial! Let me know if there are any improvements to make!~

Is there a reason you used 3 drops when testing the high pH instead of 5 like instructed on the bottle?

Hey!, just got the kit and used it, wanted to know how do you clean them after using them, I used tap water and dry them with towel paper but dont know if the paper can affect future tests so want to know you do it, also good video 😅

So if I have any emmonia or nitres etc I just have to make a water change? Or what else?

[magicchair]

What does it mean when the ammonia come out clear for both

[TiredDad]

So how do u have a pH on the low side and high side spectrums? Was this test with 2 different water sources? Is there 2 types of pH?

[sb-silf]

Is this for aquariums only? Can I use it to test drinkable water streams in the mountains?

Good upload. Does anyone know the exact way to measure the liquid's colour to the white background of the card?
For example. If you hold the tube against the card as stated in the manual, it will give a darker colour than holding it off slightly as the light is allowed all the way around the glass?

So you end up with 2 possibilities!

"For ph theres no need to shake it, just put 3 drops... and give it a shake."🤣

I will stick with the strips, so much easier

[ismaelfathi]

How is it possible ur low range ph is about 6.6 and high range is 8.2 ??

The ability to color match is just as much of a joke as it is when using strips.
