Product Information

The API® FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT measures the 4 most important levels in freshwater aquariums quickly and accurately, including pH, high range pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It is important to keep your aquarium at the appropriate pH level to ensure optimal water quality for your specific fish species, as different types of fish require different pH levels for their habitats. This will make sure that the reagents don’t cause anything to stick to the sides of the test tube, which could cause staining over time.

Even small amounts or low levels of nitrite stress fish, suppressing their immune systems and increasing the likelihood of disease, which is why it’s important to test for nitrite using API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT. They mention that the instructions are clear and the kit comes with everything they need to perform the test. How is an aquarist supposed to know how much ammonia or nitrite, for example, is in the aquarium water? This kit tests tap water and aquarium water for five different parameters that affect the health of freshwater fish: pH, High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate.The concensus is that test kits are unreliable, I never bought that argument but agree that testing isn't needed. Some water companies get their scientists to test your water, free of charge, in their analytical lab. The locations affected include but are not limited to Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and island locations such as Isle of Man.

Simply run the water, open the test tube gently (do not twist the cap), and allow the water to dilute and rinse the contents out of the test tube. The API freshwater master test kit is a complete set of chemical tests to accurately measure the key chemical indicators within your freshwater aquarium.Replacement test tubes are also available for purchase from online retailers, should you need additional test tubes.

API Aquarium Freshwater Master Liquid Test Kit tests tap water and aquarium water for five different parameters that affect the health of freshwater fish: pH, High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate.Takes a few minutes and while some tests use more test solution than others, this should still last a really long time and so much more accurate than test strips! After I came back from travel and was doing WC day, when I tested this past weekend tank came up 0, I tested three times in 3 tubes to ensure I was consistent and all were 0 or light blue.
