yep thats the test i use.should last 6 months or more.just have to make sure it is not expired .alot of us have been buying that brand and it is expired.better to go to the lfs so you can see the experation date on it.dont know about the hermit .do you have any bigger empty shells in the tank? hermits will kill snails for their shell.

That is a good kit to get started. However, the SeaChem kit is known to be a little more accurate.

like a few say here if you cant spell anenome you dont need one.as far as i am concerned they are troube.they move around the tank,if they die they will nuke the tank with toxin and wipe out everything.just not worth it to me
 
lol ok i cant spell many things so i wont be able to have alot of things ! ok someone said to just take them off her hands there are 7 and go to the fish shop and swap them ? ???
