question on testing kits

[hanley0019]

I just bought a water testing kit and the manufacture screwed up and didnt put the color cards in it. Is it always the same color cards no matter what brand testing kit u buy. I have some cards from another kit. Can i just use those???

I would say no. Take it back and get another one.

what kind of test kit someone on here is bound to have one they can take a pic of.

I have a Tetra Reef kit with all the testers but no cards. If someone has this or knows a site where i can find the charts that would be great.

Water testing, especially for newer hobbiests, is vital. Test kits are cheap; I'd either return the kit, call the company tech dept and have them send you what you need, or just get a new one. IMO; this isn't a place to improvise, most test kits are marginally accurate even with the right color cards.
