I've been hearing alot on these threads about how the test strips that you dip in the water are inaccurate and that the liquid ones are more accurate. Here's my question:
HOW MUCH difference is there in the results? I beleive that the liquid test kits are more accurate, but is it so much so that if you use the strips you are endangering your fish, or are the strips accurate enough to keep your tank healthy?
I ask because I have always used the strips. They have always given me reading that indicate my water is where it should be, and judging from the way my fish act, I would say my I have a healthy tank and fish.
The strips are also quick and easy, which is a bonus for me. The liquid kit looks like it takes alot longer to do a testing.
