Tetra EasyStrips 6-in-1 Aquarium Test Strips, Water Testing

purchased four bottles of these test strips from Walmart.com. Shipping was very fast, and everything arrived well packaged. All four bottles appeared to be genuine, factory-sealed Tetra products. I have already used one bottle, and the strips worked well with clear, easy-to-read results. Overall, I am satisfied with the product quality and the shopping experience. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that all four bottles expire in December, but the expiration date was not shown on the product page before purchase. Since I bought multiple bottles, the remaining shelf life is important. Walmart should display the expiration date or at least the minimum remaining shelf life so customers can make informed decisions. Aside from that, everything was great, and I would buy again.

My go to test strips for my freshwater aquarium. They may not be as exact as some people may like but for me they are a good reference. I use to keep an eye on my nitrites and nitrates, especially when first cycling or after medicating. For the novice I would recommend. Easy to use and easy to read. Sometimes the pH doesn't always come out looking quite right for some reason. I think because it may be between two different readings.

two items will be put to good use for my two fish tank aquarium.

I find these strips make tank water easier to manage. They helped me get into a routine of practices that insure water parameters are met. If there is a problem, they can quickly diagnose it saving your fish. Good for startup when the tank is new, before cycling.

Works like it's supposed to. The app is nice because it will scan the strip and tell you the levels along with what may need to be done to correct them.

I like the idea behind this product but there needs to be a better color chart telling the consumer what needs to be done in order to adjust the levels. The reading on the back of the box only tells you what the ideal color is for the tank. How do you find out how to make the wrong color the right color ? My hardness shows purple but the back of the box shows gray. Is purple to hard or to soft is my real question. I would leave a 4-5 star if the box included explanation on how to respond to colors and what the difference between all the color variations are.

I had the exact same problem everyone else mentions - no scale on the bottle to compare results! I called the 1800 number and got an email chart but the strip results are different to my strip! I have 6 tests the chart has 5. I was told the chart is correct - with no explanation.This is way too expensive a product to have customers try to guess answers in the middle of moving fish around. Im really disappointed with this brand!

Brand new tank being set up. Had added the Tetra Aquasafe first left 24 hours and added the Easy Balance. Following morning water was awful.Not added anything else and wondering if the Safe Start will help??Also not the amount added as it was provided correct for the tank purchased.

Easy balance plus weekly has been a wonderful product for me. Im looking to get more but the principal ingredients have changed in the product listed so I am hesitant to purchase it. With my product organic mineral salts suspended biodegradable polymers are the listed ingredients. With this product the first ingredient is water…. water …really? I called and spoke with one of your agents they are seeing a different list of ingredients than what you were showing online for this product (he saw the same as what my bottle shows) leaving me with bewildered on what to do. I am hoping to find the easy balance plus weekly maintenance 16 ounce product again because it does work fabulous.

Have been struggling since adding some fish. Nitrate levels a touch high and a bit of a bacteria bloom in the water column. Did a ~33% water change added tetra Aquasafe plus to the new water added it to the tank and then dosed the tank with Easybalance Plus. This morning I can see the tank is to clearing up and my nitrate is now around between 0 and 20ppm.
