API Freshwater Master Test Kit

The API® FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT measures the 4 most important levels in freshwater aquariums quickly and accurately

• pH.
• high range pH.
• Ammonia.
• Nitrite.
• Nitrate.

FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT comes with 4 glass test tubes with snap-tight caps and a convenient tub for easy storage.

Includes an instruction booklet with a color chart that provides information on how to correct water conditions. We recommend that you take a few minutes each week to monitor your aquarium conditions and create a better underwater world for your fish.

Why test pH?

pH is the measure of acidity in your water. 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.

Why test for Ammonia?

Fish continually release ammonia directly into the water through their gills, urine, and solid waste. Additionally, uneaten food and other waste can also add ammonia to the water.

A natural way that your aquarium handles this ammonia is through the biological filter, or natural aquarium cycle. However, as with any natural processes, imbalances can occur.

As soon as it is detected, ammonia should be removed, otherwise it will damage your fish’s gill membranes and harm their respiration, which can eventually result in fish death. Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish, suppressing their immune systems and increasing the likelihood of disease outbreaks.

Ammonia can be removed from your tank by performing a partial water change, and by dosing with a solution specifically designed to treat ammonia. Test frequently for high ammonia using API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT.

Why test for Nitrite?

If left untreated, nitrite in the water will hinder normal fish respiration, eventually leading to fish death. 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. You can remove nitrite from your tank by performing a partial water change.
