test strips

As soon as you buy a drop based kit, you'll realize how lousy test strips are. I had some test strips (2 different brands) and thought they might be useful for quick readings or to confirm my drops based results.

I found that they're not even good enough for that so I threw them away.

Yeah, I had a friend that swore his CYA was below 60 because of test strips. Turns out it was above 150. Now they were cheap Wal Mart strips but still, that's a BIG difference.

Uh-h, WalMart's test strips are mostly made by one of the major strip manufacturers. They may be cheaper, but they aren't likely to be any worse!
