aquarium pharmaceuticals ammonia test kit

Who else thinks aquarium pharmaceuticals ammonia test kit is had to read?

It's not too hard to read. It's hard when the ammonia is high because the greens are pretty close, but as you get lower, it's easier.

Yea, there are 2 different ammonia test kits made by AP. The one I have is from 0(yellow) to 8(dark green). It goes 0, .25, .5, .75, 1, 2, 4, 8.(or something very similar)

Mine came with the freshwater testing kit.
I think it goes from white(0-.5) and different shades of very close yellow from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 or something similar to that

I find mine hard to read, cause in low light yellow looks a bit green.

I like it! No matter whan a liquid test kit, is always going to be *hard* to read.

I have the yellow to green one. If it is anything besides yellow I add a bit of prime or do a water change. It isn't a question of how green, just is it green. And err on the side of doing something, rather than nothing. I also play with the light source's placement in relationto the card to get the best color view.

mine is the clear to dark yellow kit. I don't find it any mre difficult to read tan any other kit I've used. hold it up to the white part of the card and match the shades.

I have the yellow to green one, and I agree with one of the previous posts - I look for yellow and if I see any hint of green, it means trouble somewhere. I always use natural sunlight outside to check the colors, as incandecents can make it hard to tell what color any of the tests are...especially strip tests.
