API Freshwater Master Test Kit – 5-in-1 Water Test Kit for Freshwater Aquariums

Most water problems are invisible. Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH can all shift quickly when fish waste, uneaten food or other organic matter builds up, or when untreated water goes into the tank, and left uncorrected they can reduce oxygen, stress fish and raise the risk of disease. We use API test kits for the free water testing we do in store, and this is the one we recommend for keeping an eye on everything at once.

The API Freshwater Master Test Kit measures pH, high range pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate with professional accuracy. Fill the test tubes, add the test drops and compare the results to the computer-calibrated laminated colour card, then follow the card’s recommendations if action is needed. It suits beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
