Do you use dip test strips, Tetra Easy Strip 6 in 1

[BubbleFullOfStars]

I have a 10 gallon nano reef, I manually check the temp, salinity, PH, and ALK daily (Hanna checkers and probes) . I test for CAL and magnesium once a week (Red Sea pro Cal, Salifert). I test and log new saltwater batches for all of those. I test monthly for Phosphates, Nitrates, and Nitrites (Hanna checkers).

I have a new 20 gallon reef going that is pre-live stock. To get the general direction of the new tank I've started using Tetra 6 in 1 strips. I get an idea of PH, ALK, Nitrate, and Nitrite. It's super easy, if I have questions about the reading, I can use a real test kit.
for verification.

Is anyone relying on these strips for regular testing?

It’s great for nitrite and nitrate. I use them often for that but for everything else you will need better test kits. It’ll let you know if something is really off but you don’t want to get to that point.

I don't rely on the 6 in 1 testing. But I do use them from time to time, when I don't have the ability or time to use my Nutrafin 10 tests, along with three better Hannah checkers
