7/2015 is the date on the one I bought.
No, the lot numbers will not be the same. The product is identified by the lot number on the bottle, as well as the date of manufacture. The kit's lot number is printed on the box.
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to. An aquarium and a small pond, in my opinion, are the same thing.
A lot. I have a kit that I purchased over ten years ago that has enough test solution to last another five years. I don't use it every week, but you only use four or five drops at a time.

I've been looking for a simple and reliable way to test pH levels. The API Low Range and High Range for freshwater aquariums are inconclusive between 7 and 8, which drives me insane (plus you have to do two tests), pH pens are unreliable in my experience and require constant recalibration, and test strips are useless (I tried several of the best-rated brands on Amazon). I had a gut feeling about this test and decided to take it. Although it is marketed as a pond product, I believe it is equally effective in freshwater fish tanks. The color reading has been scaled to a value of 0. I don't need 0 but I do need 5 point increments, which is higher than the low and high range API kits. On pH, there is a two-point precision. However, I do require information such as whether the pH of my tanks is below or above 7. 5 has the upper comfort zone limit of some of the fish and shrimp I keep, which was impossible to do with the other kits, plus you only need one test, which has simplified my fish keeping hobby and given me peace of mind.
This is the replacement for range testing. My tanks are acidic, but I didn't realize how acidic they were until now - They didn't go any lower than 6. With this test, I was able to confirm that they are indeed *AT* 6. I wish I could have bought a low-cost option instead of a high-cost option. Just in case, there is a range test kit.
Contains a chemical bottle, a capped glass test-tube, and a pH color card with scales/colors ranging from 5 to 10. br>br>Pour 5 ml of water sample into the marked test-tube, add five drops of chemical, cap and mix, then compare to the color chart. br>br> 6 (orange/red) and 0 (orange/red). 0, 6. 5, 7. 0, 7. 5, 8. 0, 9. 0(blue) Unless you're colorblind, it's easy to tell the pH difference. br>br>I've observed the color changes in water samples after adding acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate, so I know it works. I've also tested it with known-pH water samples, and it's pretty accurate. The only drawback is that it does not have an expiration date. This is the starter kit for an amateur aquarist like me.
I have two 10-gallon aquariums, one with Neocaridina Shrimp and the other with Caridina Shrimp. I am completely enamored with this test kit. Because my tanks' water parameters vary so much, I use this to ensure that my shrimp's parameters are always ideal. It is necessary to have.
Making use of the color wheel - It's very simple to figure out what the PH is. Other test strips I received from another manufacturer are difficult to read, but this test method provides a precise reading. This product has made me very happy - I strongly advise.
I use this tester to test the PH of my aquariums and outdoor pond, and I like that it can measure PH from 5 to 9. I no longer need to purchase two separate ph test kits to determine the low and high ranges. br>It's as simple to read as the narrower range test kits, and it's just as accurate for my limited color vision abilities. If you need precise readings, such as 7, it might not be the best kit. 3 vs 7. 2 However, it provides a sufficient level of accuracy for my purposes.
As a new pond, it provides me with tranquillity. that the water is suitable for their needs My little bullfrog.
A good product for testing.
