Ammonia Alert

Has anyone used the Seachem Ammonia Alert or any other kind of Ammonia Alert? Opinions on it? I have been testing parameters daily since the tank is only 2 months old. I am not looking at the Ammonia Alert instead of testing. I will keep up my testing, but it would be nice to have something I could glance at in between tests and maybe test once a week rather than daily.

I use them in my QT and hospital tanks and they work well.

I've used them quite a bit. Great for QT, and I also used them when I was breeding rotifers (very useful there). I don't know exactly how precise they are, but they definitely seem to give you good warning before levels get toxic. I'd usually keep one in the sump for my main tank just for peace of mind.
