Jungle?

I went to Wal-mart and bought Jungle test strips because my LFS only has copper tests. Anyway, I was looking for the API Master Kit or some liquid tests, but the only liquid they had was API pH tests. Instead, I got a Jungle ammonia test kit with strips, and then the 5 in 1, too.

I know strips are less accurate, but at least I can still have an idea for my water.

Buuuut... I'm having second thoughts.
Is it even worth opening the boxes, or should I take them back to Wal-mart while I still can? I thought about ordering of the internet, but I figure the shipping and the fact that something could happen to it in the mail means I ought to leave that alone. Plus, it'll take a while and I have really limited cash. What should I do?

Forget the test strip's. The liquid test kit's are the way to go.

That's about the same price I paid for these strips! And it ships pretty fast, too... I'll probably return these things, then. <3

I think returning them is a good call. The price on Amazon was really good too, when I bought my kit.

Just looked at that. I'l consider it, too. :3

I went to Wal-mart and returned them already. I asked the lady if I could get a cash refund and she told me no. Then she asked about my insurance. She thought they were diabetes strips at first glance. xD
I don't blame her, really. They look similar.

I've got my money though, so I'm going test hunting! Thanks guys!
