The JBL Test is a typical strip test as offered by many other companies. A faster and more complicated test to get an overview of the most important values in the aquarium. That would be chlorine, nitrate, nitrite, Gesammthärte, alkalinity and pH. The test strips (50 pieces) are, with printed test scales, packed in a tightly sealed tin. Furthermore, we not only have the test scores but you can, which is a great help for Neuaquarianer, read about a smiley system if the values "good / bad" are. About some of the provisions could argue very well, since, for example. Salmer have different requirements as Malawi cichlids, but rather as if they are just bare numbers a newcomer into their own hands. In enclosed leaflet be given instructions to increase or decrease certain values. A very good test which gives a quick overview of the most important aquarium values in up to 60 seconds.
What one of my previous reviewers confused this is "accuracy" with "resolution"!
The test is very accurate, but within the limits of its resolution. The PH test covers, for example. 6.4 to 9.0 in 7 Meßfarben from, and there he is very accurate. However, if you determine to 0.1 or 0.2 its pH must for the test is completely inappropriate, and there are, for example. Drop tests which only cover a very small pH range and thus have a very high resolution or even electronic pH meters which then quickly however the cost 3-15 times this test. One should turn his eyes and his head, who does not just breed operates or maintains the absolute specialists not need its water values to 0.1 or 0.2 set exactly at the whole Meßgeschichte ALWAYS.
