New tank? You better have this!

Every fish keeper should know what there water parameters are!!! This product will make you understand when your new tank is cycled. It will let you know when to do a water change while you are keeping fish. It will let you know when its safe to add fish to a new tank. It will pay for itself. It will save your fishes lives! Learn about the nitrogen cycle if you are starting a new tank or you will be sorry! Its also 20% cheaper to buy this product on line esp at drfostersmith with there lowest price match guarantee and sales. around $20 online and $30 in the pet stores.

Yes, I recommend this product.

A couple of things I don't like in an otherwise great product.

Overall this water test kit is a great product,but two things bother me.First and foremost to me is the small printing in the manual that comes with the kit,it's kind of hard for my old eyes to see.Second the childproof caps are a pain to open with one hand,but I see the need as I have have a grandson who is into everything.These are just two minor little complaints I have with this product.This kit is great in that it instructs how to do the water test,and what to do with the results you get from the water test,such as how to correct a problem one might have with water quality in their aquarium.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Must have. Especially for new, cycling tanks.

The only issue with these, is the Nitrate #2 bottle crystallizes. Sometimes have to "smack the bottle on a counter/table to get shaken up. Pay very close attentions to the times/process of this test. Great otherwise.

Yes, I recommend this product.

How long does this last?

  1. Thank you for your question. The Freshwater Master Test Kit contains over 700 tests in the kit. The expiration date is 3 years from the date stamped on each bottle.



will API master test kit register correctly for amonia with Kordon Amquel plus

  1. Thank you for your question. The test kit will register correctly, however, you will want to wait to test the water 24 hours after the Amquel Plus is added.



On the test kits are the bottles marked with expiration dates?

  1. Yes all bottles in this kit have an expiration date



Fresh Water Test Kit

    API Master Test Kits and/or Test Strips

    1. Test strips expire quickly and are too inaccurate to be useful even when new. I don't know exact lifetimes for the API tests, but I know for sure that test chemicals definitely expire. I would not trust them if they are over two years old. I have had several saltwater tests come out weird, and when I looked at the expiration date I saw that they were past it.



    What levels of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate will the API Freshwater kit test

    1. The range for Ammonia is 0 to 8.0 ppm, the range for Nitrate is 0 to 160 ppm, and the range for Nitrite is 0 to 5.0 ppm. Hope this helps.



    Can extra test tubes for the API test kits be ordered. I broke several.

    1. Thank you for your question. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-381-7179, or by email at CustomerService@DrsFosterSmith.com, regarding replacement parts.



    Can I use a Freshwater test kit on a African Cichlid tank using Cichlid Salts in the water?

    1. Yes, I use it every week. Also you should pick up gh/Kh to keep your hardness up. Cichlids love hard water,



    Does the freshwater master test kit still come with saltwater read outs?

    1. Nope



    How much would it cost to post to Western Australia? Do you post??
