    I think they are about as accurate as any cheaper test Kit, until you get to the expensive stuff!

    As with most things, they work well to a degree, but water hardness can affect their accuracy quite considerably!

    Angels you can keep with plants!

    Its mainly big Cichlids like the Oscars, and then the African Cichlids that do not do well with Plants!! They mainly eat them up and uproot them with all their digging!!

    Cheers
