API pH Test Kit
In the box of the API pH Test Kit, you will receive 250 Tests.
The API pH Test Kit monitors pH to maintain healthy freshwater conditions in your tank. pH control is imperative to prevent the harmful effects of overly alkaline or acidic aquarium water on fish and plant life, so take a few minutes each week to maintain and monitor your pH conditions with this easy-to-use kit! Tests read pH from 6.0 – 7.6, and will help you quickly and easily determine whether your levels are too high or too low.
Why Test pH?
pH is the measure of acidity of water. A pH reading of 7.0 is neutral. A pH higher than 7.0 is alkaline, and a pH lower than 7.0 is acidic. Maintaining the aquarium at the proper pH ensures optimal water quality. The pH should be tested weekly, since natural materials in the aquarium (such as fish waste and uneaten food) can cause pH changes.
Testing Tips
The minimum pH reading for the API pH Test Kit is 6.0 and the maximum is 7.6. Under extreme water conditions, readings below the minimum will read 6.0 and above the maximum will read 7.6. pH adjustments outside the range of this kit will not show any changes until the pH of the aquarium water is within the range of this kit. When keeping livebearers, goldfish, African Cichlids or marine fish and invertebrates use the API HIGH RANGE pH TEST KIT.
Contains 250 tests and includes 1 test bottle, easy-to-ready instructions, glass test tube and color chart

This test works well for caridina shrimp tanks. It seems accurate and is fairly easy to read.

Considering the amount of tests you can do and the price, this is probably the best value for money ph test kit.
Note the ph range, this will be great for most freshwater tanks. The API test kits are super easy to use and reading and understanding the results are self explanatory.
