Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this kit because I had a Betta with what appeared to be fin rot. I suspected it was actually fin biting, but decided to monitor the tank's ammonia levels anyway. This kit is by far the most economical - for the amount of tests included for the price. After 2 weeks of 0-.25 readings without fluctuation, I wondered if the tests were even accurate. I decided to test 5ml of pure ammonia instead. Imagine my disappointment when the pure ammonia sample turned the same yellow (0%). Before you go sending hate mail to API, there's a good reason for this. It turns out, the ammonia level was too high and essentially "blew out" the testing liquid. API is assuming your fish isn't living in pure ammonia and, therefore, didn't make this kit to test levels that high. Next, I tested 5ml of water from a 1 gallon jug filled with tap water and 1 drop of pure ammonia. Yes, I apparently have too much time on my hands and a latent mad scientist gene. This test proved accurate. The tube turned dark green almost instantly (picture attached). I feel much more secure using and believing this test now.
