To start, one of the two reagents for the test has to be mixed fresh each time you want to test using two additional reagents supplied in the box for a total of 4 reagents just to do one test. Next, the colorimetric test strip has a color gradient instead of the usual set color values, so it's difficult to decided on an exact color. Not to mention, you only have 20 to 30 seconds to interpret the test before the results are invalid. Also, the test is unreliable since I did multiple tests on samples from the same water and got different values. Sometimes the test didn't even develop. Normally, I compare home test kits to ICP-OES results, but this kit isn't even worth it. This test kit is cheap and you get what you pay for. Iodine can be lethal to your fish, coral and inverts--if you want to supplement, skip this kit and spend the $$ on something worthwhile.Hide
BEST WAY TO USE THIS KIT IS TO DO A TEST WITH THE SAMPLE OF 0.06 READING SENT WITH THE TEST KIT THIS WAY YOU GET A IDEA OF THE COLOR REFERENCE. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO READ THE SCALE ONCE MIXED AS THE RESULTS DON'T STAY ONE COLOR FOR LONG MAYBE 10 SECONDS THIS IS THE DRAWBACK I DO NOT LIKE. ...Read More

CONS
1.) Test kit has light blue to dark blue to tell what your iodide is at
2.) Completely useless because as soon as you add the reagent to get the color reaction it starts to fade from dark to light blue
3.) You have literally 20 seconds or less to guess what color matches on the chart b4 the test sample goes colorless.
Pro
1.) At least if your sample water goes blue it tells you have iodide in your water.
My opinion don't waste your money. If your really want to dose iodide or iodine just do like 1 drop a day per 50g to really play it safe. I use to do 4 drops a day of brightwell lugols for my 50g and had my iodine read at 0.09 which is high. The story is since I dosed at small increments my fish and coral where still safe even if my iodine was high. Dose small and you'll be safe hope this saved someone from wasting their money.

From all test kits I tried so far this one was probably the worst. First you have to make one of the reagents yourself (?). Then the results are really hard to read: the final color is a very light blue and the scale given changes from fsaint blue to very light blue, almost impossible to get exactly the resulting value. And the final color only stays "on" for some seconds, everything gest transparent in less than a minute.Hide
I find the test very easy to use, and I appreciate having a reference sample - but none of that helps since I cannot read the results.
The color key is composed of various shades of light blue with very little contrast. Trying to find a match for any sample is just a wild guess, and gives me no ...Read More

I had an idea that my system was in chronic iodide deficiency and it proved to be true. It was half of NSW. This kit is easy to use and has made dosing iodide safe. Levels closer to NSW are getting tired corals new life. I would and will buy this product again.
