JBL Test Kits - What do you use ?

[undercoverbrother]

Test Kits are among the most important pieces of equipment in this hobby however overlooked by some.

When something goes wrong unexpectingly our first course of action is to test our water parameters with the amount of time, effort and money and money and did I mention money we spend in this hobby

We shouldnt cheap out on accurate and realiable information regarding our water quality. I have virtually tried almost every brand on the market (in Australia) some sucessful others not so much.

I will remain from naming all brands I have used. However one product which deserves mentioning and awareness in the hobby are the test kits made by JBL. I have found these are among the most accurate and realiable to use.

My favourite thing about this brand is the increments in which the tests read, which are smaller than other brands making it easier to decifer whether the reading is X or Y.

Below are a few images of the product. Let me know what you are using and whether you have any experience with JBL ?. If you don't then I highly recommend doing some research and putting it to the test, It's the best in my opinion.

i have an api professional kit, don't use it much, I vacume the gravel regulary and use aged water for water change. The only time i test is when theres a death. Thats prety bad but honest.

I appreciate your honesty, I used to be the same when first starting up, however sometimes things happen the naked eye cannot see. I figure it only takes 60 seconds to test the water, better be safe than sorry.
