Easy to use (but confusing low reading) By Starrme on 4/29/13

Starrme would recommend this product to a friend

Overall: I would buy again

Pros:
- Directions are easy to follow
- Performing the test is quick and easy

Cons:
- Cloudy low result (<0.25) is confusing

Note: I picked this test kit because of accuracy. My tank never had an ammonia spike due to live rock and sand so all I have ever seen is the cloudy result. I think if you have an ammonia spike during cycling it might be easier to interpret the low result because you have seen the color change over time.
screwed up my fishless cycle. no ammonia reading whatsoever By chen yang on 3/30/13

i bought this to measure ammonia for my fishless cycle. like the other reviewer i also got no ammonia reading after >12 tests over 10 days. i follow Dr tims instruciton for fishless cycle and dip the ammonia chloride. i tested for ammonia evreyday and its always 0. its always a cloudy white solution. i never dose the ammonia over 2 therefore i shouldnt get a 0 reading. i even dilute my water sample just to see if it was becasue my water has way too much ammonia. but it was still a white cloudy solution. i then did a water change and put a piece of shrimp meat in it. i measure ammonia everyday still no reading. i am thinking of asking for a refund. i wasted almost 2 weeks becasue of this test kit. becasue i dont know if i have too much ammonia or too little. ps i bought nitrite and nitrate salifert tests at the same time and their results were normal unlike the ammonia one. :-(
Not perfect but.... By David on 3/9/13

Easy to use, very consistent. Only problems I have is my kit never reads above 1.5 ppm no matter how much ammonia I add. Not ideal but it still serves it's purpose. The other thing is the vial gets a white film on it that's difficult remove due to the odd shaped corners.
My test kit was a dud By Edward on 1/28/13

It did not read any ammonia during my cycle. I tested with two other kits, both of which read over 2PPM. I understand this happens, but I prefer the tried and true API kit for ammonia.

Easy to use product that was accurate. I used it to make sure my tank was fully cycled. Amazing quality for a good value. Not as advanced as some but does the job just fine for me. Thanks BRS!

Not crazy about the color trip. By Kenneth on 8/31/12

Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend

Like the title says, I am not crazy about the color strip. However I cannot fault salifert 100% because it could have just been the ammonia content of my water. I'll be using this when I start up my second reef tank.

Very solid product, easy to use and accurate. Only downside is the cheap flimsy packaging which turns to mush if you keep it around water. Recommended

It's an easy to use test kit. I'm still not 100% confident usint the color match test kits (after using some of the newer digital test) but this kit does as advertised.
