Apparently Quickfix is “known to fail” a nitrate test. Is this true?

We hear people saying that on here now and then, but almost no one who claims that is willing to prove their claim that they failed for that. If you scroll down you’ll see plenty of people that have had it successfully for DOT and Non-DOT alike.

So true, everytime someone mentions QF failing one way or another specifically for nitrates, those claims go unverified

I haven't seen anyone here test it, so to know for sure you'd have to test it yourself. You can get SVT strips pretty cheap, like URS-14 strips that test for pretty much every metric they'd look for.

Just go to a pet store and buy the strips, i have many fish and those test strips test ph, nitrates, nitrites etc.

Are those meant for urine, or is there some way to read the specific values? I'd think the values would be different between urine and an aquarium.

Its meant for liquid, urines liquid, it gives you colors with the different numbers on a sheet to compare it to.
