Complain

Contamination17%−0.12

would indicate either inconsistent filing of the bottles or drop sizes from the dropper

In UK it is routinely added to the water supply, its unavoidable and these strips are definitely not picking this chemical up at levels which would be unsuitable for fish

half my fish passed whilst the others are in a sorry state with ammonia burns

Instructions/User Manual/Troubleshooting17%+0.81

I wasnt sure wether to purchase these test strips from some of the reviews I've read about no instructions

So word of warning always check for new instructions regardless of however long you have been using a product
