api test strips awfully bad

False positive on api ammonia test strips, all three come back strong ammonia including tap water, RO water and tank water.

Yes, yes they are.

I would suggest using another brand of test to confirm your testing. API tests are not the most accurate tests to use.

Strong means what?

They are great kits . . . . . . For a turtle tank

Hanna and Salifert brands are worth the money. I will never risk raising hundreds in livestock and depend on a $28 master kit

In both the reefing and pool care worlds, we say that test strips are only good for one thing -- measuring the depth of your trash can.
