Description:

Jungle Labs Quick Dip Test Strips are a 6 in 1 test strip that work great in freshwater tanks. With accuracy comparable to liquid based testing kits these strips can simply be dipped directly into tank water in order to read pH, general hardness (GH), carbonate hardness (KH), nitrite, nitrate and chlorine levels quickly and easily from one strip without the mess of other liquid testing kits. Currently they cost ~$15-20 for a 25 pack which makes them a decent value. The only drawback to these strips is the lack of ammonia testing.

Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $15.00 | Rating: 9

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Quick and easy
Cons:	No ammonia test

Overall a great product. Much easier than using messy liquid based kits and the strips seem to be just as accurate. It was nice to see a chlorine test on the strip however the lack of ammonia testing is a little annoying.
