Ingredients

The API Freshwater Master Test Kit consists of specialized chemical reagents that react with the water to measure its chemical properties.

Guaranteed Analysis

pH Test Solution

Ammonia Test Solution #1 & #2

Nitrite Test Solution

Nitrate Test Solution

Each reagent is formulated to precisely measure the respective water parameter, ensuring accurate results every time.

How It Works

The test kit works by using reagents to react with water samples, providing visual indicators (color changes) for different water parameters. Simply fill the provided test tubes with aquarium water, add the appropriate reagent for the parameter you want to test, and compare the resulting color with the chart provided to determine pH, ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate levels.

Directions for Use – API Freshwater Master Test Kit

1. pH Test: Add 3 drops of pH solution to 5 ml of water, shake, and compare the color to the provided chart.
2. Ammonia Test: Add 8 drops each from Ammonia Test Solution #1 and #2, shake, wait 5 minutes, and read the result using the chart.
3. Nitrite Test: Add 5 drops of Nitrite Test Solution to 5 ml of water, shake, and compare the color to the nitrite chart.
4. Nitrate Test: Follow the same process, but use the nitrate-specific reagent.

Test weekly for best results, or more frequently when starting a new aquarium.
