Has anyone used the ATI freshwater aquarium master test kit, and if so is it accurate?

Thanks

It is good enough for measuring ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph between 6.0 to about 8.0. Some of the colors are almost to close to each other but will tell you if you have an issue.

Thanks Pat. Do you know of a kit that would be better. I am also going to get something to test for clorine.

I don't but there may be more expensive ones which are more accurate. I find the API Freshwater Master kit "good enough" for what I need to know which basically....do I have an issue.

Some of these kits are limited in regard to lower ph. For that I use a Hanna HI98130 which measure ph, tds (hardness), etc. If you only want ph try the Hanna HI98107 pH Tester. This will give you a large range of ph's.
