Want fish. Buy this before you fill the tank. It has nearly every test you need to start cycling and keeping fish, and tests are accurate and reliable.
You can indeed measure the hardness with this kit, but it's a bit more of a pain than I had anticipated, based on other water test kits. There's no succinct card with instructions or a color chart. You have to read a multiply folded piece of paper to figure out what to do with the kit, and you have to keep referring to this awkward piece of paper every time you test.The test itself involves putting dropps in the water until it changes, and using the number of drops used to determine the hardness of your water (see the chart on your awkward piece of folded paper).The chemist in charge needs to get on making a new couple of hardness tests that (a) have a fixed number of drops for a fixed amount of water, (b) has instructions ON THE BOTTLE or on a laminated small card, and (c) has a color chart to rate the results on said bottle or card.
