Comments: I was using a Red Sea ammonia test kit. When it ran low, I decided to try the Salifert kit. The Salifert is much faster and simpler. One chemical vs three for the Red Sea and 3 and 3 minute wait vs 15 minute wait. I find the Red Sea easier to discriminate the color differences between ammonia levels. I did do tests using both kits to check conformance. They seemed to measure the same level. The Red Sea is in ppm and the Salifert is in mg/L. That is not much of an issue since at the specific gravity of saltwater, the relationship is about 1:1. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Of the 4 or 5 different brands of ammonia tests I've used over the years this one is by far the most useful. For one, it distingushes values as low as .25 ppm, whereas most of the kits i've owned to date start at 1 PPM, with the color-difference between 0 and 1 being outside of my ability to divine. Additionally, I'm able to accurately read results despite being color blind. I have no idea what colors the different readings are, but they are all noticably darker as ammonia values get higher, and at least personally I'm able to distinguish all of the increments without much guessing. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have only been using the test for about 2 weeks now. The test seem pretty accurate. The only reason they do not recieve 5 stars is becuse I feel the instructions are poorly written on some of the tests. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
