Thanks Jennifer
 
I guess the market place sorts these things out - dear and inaccurate doesn't sound like a winner

There used to be available in Australia Aquavital Multisticks made by Aquarium Munster. They are no longer imported due to lack of demand, and also I think because they were too expensive at over $1 per stick (in packs of 25). They weren't overly accurate, but were a good guide to the general water parameters in the aquarium. They tested pH, nitrite, nitrate, kH and gH. They would almost certainly be available in the US, UK and Europe, probably at a more reasonable price.
