Based on my limited experience with this kit I see no reason to spend the additional money for test strips instead of a liquid based kit. The color based readings are easy to decipher and clean up is very easy. The kit covers all relevant water chemistry and allows for something like 100 tests for the same price as a 15 use ammonia test strip kit.

This kit is wonderful and very accurate. It also saves a lot of money than doing the strip tests and gives you more accurate measurements. I've found it very easy to use, fast to use, and it's helped me keep my aquariums in top condition. The only negative I can see is that it should have included one more vial since you do end up doing all the tests on the aquarium and that way you can have them all at once. It would also be nice to be able to purchase replacement vials since they do break (glass). Otherwise the cards are great for comparing colors, the booklet goes into detail that will help a new aquarium lover to keep their system in top form.

After looking all over, this is one of the few Master Test Kits I could find that had tests for all the important water conditions I need to check in my aquarium. It's also far and away the best priced. The instructions were clear and made the kit easy to use. I can fill all 4 vials and do all the tests at once. I like the packaging too, it makes it simple to keep all those little bottles organized. A great product!
