12 best aquarium tests

Product description

Most water problems are invisible to the eye. Quickly measure and modify the six aquarium levels that are most important to the health of your freshwater fish with the API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT. To stay healthy and thrive, fish need properly balanced levels of ammonia, pH, high range pH, nitrite and nitrate. These levels can change rapidly and create harmful conditions when fish waste, uneaten food or other organic matter accumulate, or when untreated water is added. If left uncorrected, all of these can be harmful or even fatal to fish, with consequences such as reduction of oxygen, increase in stress and higher risk of disease. The API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT measures these six parameters with scientific accuracy and provides professional results. It comes with four glass test tubes, a holding tray, test tube rack and computer calibrated, laminated color card. Just fill the test tubes, add the test drops and compare results to the color card. Then follow the recommendations on the card if action is required. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can any of these tests be used for both saltwater and freshwater? I noticed a lot of the individually packaged tests say they can be used for both
Answer:	Api ammonia, nitrite and nitrate test kits can be used for both salt and fresh water aquariums, the liquid solutions are the same for salt and fresh. BUT the color cards that you use to compare your test to are slightly different. I have both fresh water and marine. The first time I bought these kits, I bought for saltwater and freshwater and never threw away the color cards. Now it doesn't matter if I get freshwater or saltwater test kits because I have both freshwater and saltwater cards.
Question:	Would this kit be a good one for my planted aquarium
Answer:	Yes, this is a good general water testing kit, unless you have plants that are very sensitive to water hardness. This kit does NOT include a water-hardness tester.
Question:	I'm a newbie. I have a betta in 10G tank and I'm told that I need to test the water always.Not sure if I should get this or get cheaper ones instead
Answer:	Frankly, with a 10G tank you should just be doing weekly water changes of at least 25-30%. You can't really "let things go" with a tank that size and it's unlikely that you would have ammonia spikes with such frequent water changes. I have a little 5.5 gallon with a couple of albino cory cats and I use a test strip every once in a blue moon, but the water is always fine because I do weekly changes. Am looking at this kit for my 125 gallon tank, but would bother for a tiny tank.
Question:	How many tests can be run with this kit
Answer:	About 120. Problem is that if you use the full set of products daily you will quickly run out of the ammonia test and the Nitrates tests (each with 2 bottles) because they take 8-10 drops each, compared to the Ph test which only takes 3 drops. I mainly test ammonia and nitrites so I've had to buy separate ammonia kits twice now because I ran out of fluid, while my high range ph bottle is nearly full. Also - Prime, AmGuard and other products convert Ammonia into harmless Ammonium however, it will still read as ammonia on your API kit - so it's basically lying to you. There are kits that will show you active ammonia and harmless ammonium and my API kit reads 8.0 ammonia but the other kit reads it as all harmless ammonium and zero active ammonia. You have do dose your tank with Prime every 48 hours or less to keep the ammonium from converting back to killer ammonia. This will keep happening until your tank finally converts the ammonium to nitrites. My 2 of my 4 well-cycled tanks somehow lost their cycling so that's not happening for those tanks yet.

Testing the Waters

In order for fish to thrive, water must be similar to that which could be found in their natural environment. Poor water quality can cause fish stress, illness and even loss. Most common water quality parameters are Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH. All may vary over time and all are invisible to the eye which is why it is important to test weekly. Testing aquarium water weekly will aid in keeping your most important water parameters within the proper range for your aquarium. Choose from a wide range of API testing options, such as our popular FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT or 5-IN-1 TEST STRIPS, for accurate water evaluation. Regular testing will help you easily determine your aquarium conditions.

Your API Test Options

Choose the test method that works best for you. Whether you’re a bit pressed for time, or you prefer to measure your parameters on a more in-depth scale, or you only need to test one or two specific parameters, API has what you need!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it easy to interpret the readings for a Betta fish
Answer:	It uses suction cups to attach to glass.
Question:	Can you use this for saltwater
Answer:	Yes of course there's two separate power cords. These water circulators are extremely quiet.
Question:	Are the strips easy to read? Are the colors well defined
Answer:	Its got suction cups for glass or plastic but im sure you can fabricate it to stick to anything with the right amount of effort and material!
Question:	can this test be used for top water
Answer:	Yes, too strong for 20 gallons tank. But, this one is suck too. I'm used only 2 times was broken, don't buy this brand name. Your 20 gallons no need to use power head for fresh water. You just need to use air bubble . I used this power head for marine fish and 75 gallons tank.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this accurate in salt water too
Answer:	We appreciate your concern, Megan! This product is indeed the real product, and is supplied to Amazon by Tetra. Fish deaths are typically due to improperly performing water changes, such as not topping the tank with water at the appropriate temperature or performing too large of a water change which can shock the fish. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Question:	What is the expiration date
Answer:	No it won't clear the cloudiness. Just wait about a week for the sand dust to settle to the bottom.
Question:	I just received this item and there is no color chart on the bottle to compare. Am i missing something
Answer:	Mine didn’t come with a seal. If I buy in stores it does but this didn’t so it sketched me out and I decided not to use it to be on the safe side.
Question:	What is expiration date? I bought some before and it had only 1 month left
Answer:	Not directly... Safe Start introduces Nitrifying bacteria into your tank environment... Turn off uv sterilization when adding. The bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite and other bacteria convert nitrite to nitrate. All are toxic to fish to some degree... Ammonia being the worst and becomes deadly at about 8 parts per million (it burns the gill membranes)... nitrite at about 40-80 ppm and nitrate at about 160ppm... Water changes remove the nitrate... Seachem Prime is excellent for detoxifying all three and for removing heavy metals from your tap water in addition to dechlorinating... But SeaChem Prime does not remove it either... It binds the toxic molecules thereby making the water "safe" for fish and giving the bacteria colonies a longer amount of time to break down the toxins....Overcrowding your tanks is the major source of excess ammonia...

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is my nitrite level always zero
Answer:	I imagine you could brew it the same as you would with any loose leaf tea without a French press. I haven't tried it though.
Question:	How high does the ph read
Answer:	Yes
Question:	How do these compare to liquid test kits
Answer:	I tried brewing 1 tablespoon to 1 cup of hot water and I did not like the taste of that. So now how I integrate this into my coffee experience, is that I buy the ground version of a Rasa - I brew 2 tablespoons of ground herbal coffee that I order from Orenda & Sage and then I add 1 tablespoon of the ground Rasa. I brew this all in a small coffee maker with about 2 1/2 cups of water and it yields about 2 cups of herbal coffee for me.
Question:	Is there an expiration date on the bottle
Answer:	Rasa is made of mostly dried roots so it has a shelf life of 2 years. They say 1 year but most herbalists would say 2 years if it’s in a cool dark place.

Question:	Can I use them in a marine tank
Answer:	It says for freshwater and saltwater on front of bottle. Roll over image to zoom in.
Question:	Do these have a tamperproof seal when new
Answer:	No they do not. I purchased multiples of these and none had a tamper proof seal.
Question:	what is the shelf life of these strips
Answer:	Since they contain a simple dry chemical which changes color in the presence of ammonia, I don't think they have a shelf life so long as they stay dry.

Product description

While using popular aquarium test tubes we noted with disappointment, that when shaking to mix test solutions with the water sample, drops of the corrosive mixture ended up on our fingers and the floor. This led us to source leak-proof caps, so that keeping our aquarium water in check does not mean exposing our skin to highly toxic chemical solutions nor having it splash the bench-top and floor.

• Set of 6 flat-bottomed glass test tubes with leak-proof screw caps - NO MORE SPILLS!
• Customised for use as REPLACEMENT TEST TUBES for all aquarium water tests.
• Accurate 5ml mark for aquarium water and sufficient additional capacity to hold API test solutions.
• Made of borosilicate glass of 1mm wall thickness, 13 mm diameter.
• Please note: rack is not included in this offer.
