Guide Review - Kordon AquaTru Test Kits by Novalek
Easy to Use, Read and Comprehend
After many years of using AquaTru® Ammonia (Salicylate), Nitrite, Nitrate and pH test kits, we found them to be quite dependable, as well as comparable to Aquarium Systems' test kits in almost every way. They provide what we feel are accurate results, as long as the reagents are not used past their expiration dates and are stored in a cool place. If you own or run a fish store, or are an aquarists with multiple aquariums, you may find the large quantity refill packs of interest. They can save you money, as well as time fretting over running out too soon or having to reorder frequently.
