Decent Backup
Pros: Fast, Cheap, Simple
Cons: Not Consistent
I got this just to double check the readings I was getting from my main nitrate test. The nitrite test seems to match the other nitrite kits I have an the color is easy to read. The nitrate test however is all over the place. I can do 3 tests in a row and they will all be different. The color is also hard to read. The chart is shades of pink but the solution looks more purple which makes it difficult to compare. I'm happy I have this kit as a backup but I would not rely on it as my only test kit.

Accurate
Pros: Price, accurate

This is a test kit you can actually read! I bought this to replace my API nitrite/nitrate test because i couldnt distinguish the colors on the nitrate test

Fast
This easy and fast. It comes with a control if you have any doubt. Like any color test you must read in a brightly lit room and not be color blind.

Nice Kit
For something as simple as nitrite and nitrates, this test kit is ideal...

Disappointed
I bought this to replace my API tester that was awful. The Nitrite test on the SeaChem is easy. Unfortunately the Nitrate test is very difficult to read as the color from 20-50 is virtually the same.

Decent - not great
This is a decent test kit. I like the fact that you get to test both Nitrite and Nitrate. That is good. It is also easy to use. I have not always found it to be the most reliable though.

Sea Chem Nitrate & Nitrite
It was difficult to see the results accurately on the test strip. Also, the dropper that came with the kit for dripping samples into the tray was not washable. I was not sure if any trace residue from a previous sample was still in the dropper.

Great Kit
This is the kit to buy! Other kits try and sell you both Nitrite and Nitrate as separte kits. Most of the time mine reads zero, so I don't judge it against a chart. However, in the past I have verified this against the included refernce sample to know I was reading it properly and accurately. It's the fastest to read of all my kits.

Nitrate Test
I found the color changes confusing, but I'll probably get used to it.
