High quality test kit
By M. Ross
This is a high quality test kit from Germany, which tests pH, GH and KH (in °dH), NH4/NH3, NO2, NO3, PO4, and Fe (in ppm*), and Cl. Easy to read color comparison charts are provided for every test, with the exception of Cl (of which ANY color equals dead fish).Kudos to Amazon for correctly indicating there is NO test for Cu, although the "sera aqua-test" booklet includes this test as part of the "standard" test kit. The user needs to pay close attention to the instructions within the "sera aqua-test" booklet: 1) The instructions are printed in 6 point type and cover few pages; 2) Pay attention! The sample size varies; 3) The English instructions are only four pages long.The instructions contain little information beyond running the individual tests - For example, there is no information I've found on how to open the reagent bottle; however, there is a handy prick in the bottle's cap (see my additional pictures with the product).Since this is a 'universal' German product, the manual's instructions are repeated in eighteen (18) different languages. Again, not much useful information in the manual (e.g. support URLs, contacts, "Sera Online Backup"**, etc) beyond test execution. There is some superfluous information in the manual, such as instructions for running a Cu test (NOT included) and a color chart for C02 concentration (a test classified as a specialty test for separate purchase by the "sera aqua-test" booklet).In conclusion, I recommend this product as a much better and comprehensive test kit than its closet competitor, the API Freshwater Master Test Kit and its problematic NO3 reagent #2. The advantage of the API product being oriented to American clientele is a plus if you are state-side. *ppm is equivalent to mg/l (do the math! :-))**"Sera Online Backup" - Nothing found in the usual search engines regarding this service, other than the mention of this service from various retailers, including Amazon. I found the site in Germany. If interested, send me an email an I'll send you the URL.

This Master kit by Sera is great. Easy to read and accurate as any other kit I have used in the Hobbyist category. The only thing I did to make it better is laminate the instructions and color cards.
