New to borates, What borate test strip is best?

[vanessadickson]

Today jumped off the deep end and added 70lbs boric acid powder from that Duda Energy guy (yes I realize granules better, but I stupidly ordered powder and got my workout stirring in with a whale tale) added to my 35k gall pool per PoolMath instructions to get to 42. Below are my beautiful pool test results before the addition. Then, I realized I had no way to test for the new borates in the pool. (Can I use a double hammering head emoji for this?) So which test strip do people find to be reliable? And is it available through TFP test kits site?

TC 6.0
CC 0
pH 7.6
TA 70
CYA 65-70
salt 3200

The borate test strips are hard to read as the color differences are subtle.

These work fine for me. Exact amount of borates does not make much of a difference.
