Yes
This is the test kit I use and I know that loads of others on the site use it as well.

Hi. It doesn't say what brand the kit is, but it looks to me like it's by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals which is a good brand and is preferred by many. Check out the price to see if it is good or not for what you get. Something you might think about is that you are likely to only need either the pH low, or the pH high, not both. If it's what you want for a good price, I say bid on it.

That is by far the best Test Kit for your money. My only issue with it is the Nitrate Color Chart.......the oranges and reds are hard to pick between

I agree - by far the best value for money and great test kit (API = Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Inc.). However, if you've tried other brand Nitrate tests, you'll find they are all notoriously impossible to distinguish anything about 30ppm or so

Thanks, going by all your advice i did buy it. Just waiting on the post...
Cost me $43 Aus dollars with postage, which is MUCH cheaper than any shop ive been to.
Not many shops i went to had tests for ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. and the ones that did they were $200-$300 Aus for a full kit.
