I just bought some Quick Dip strips to test my PH and Nitrates and all that stuff. It was about $5.00. I saw a Water Testing Kit for $30.00 at Pet Smart. What's the difference between these two? Is one more accurate than the other?

Yes, i've had both and the liquid is much more acurate,as most people will tell you, It's worth the extra cost.....:dance2:

Petsmart does price matching..go to their website and get the prointout of the kit price..the master kit is around $20 on the website.

no no, there isnt much of a price difference. The liquid tests give about 100-150 tests per bottle (so 100 ammonia tests, 150 ph tests etc). but test strips normally only has like 10-50 tests per bottle.

I personally have had test strips read low on ammonia when it was actually in a high spike (5+)

they are worth it. even a better deal when they price match it for $14 something.
