API Fresh Water Master Test Kit, 1 Piece

Good 👍 Work's Well

This product is excellent and provides very quick and accurate results. You just need to follow the instructions as per the manual and the test results will come quite accurate. The box includes: 1. Chemical reagents to perform all the tests mentioned - PH, High PH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate 2. 4 Test Tubes 3. Manual and Color chart The color chart is very helpful and the manual explains very clearly how to understand the results based on the color. The PH results come immediately. For Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate, you need to wait for 5 minutes. In a well cycled tank - Ammonia and Nitrite must be 0ppm(VERYImportant) and Nitrate also within acceptable limits. This is a must for any aquarium and specially useful for any new tank setups where you need to monitor the water conditions regularly during the cycling process. Based on the results, you can take decision for water changes. Best Master Test Kit available !!!! Go for it.

It's nice but expensive tool to establish your tank parameters. Which is sometimes confusing as decoding is based on visual color matching which turns out to be extremely confusing and tricky when you get different colours which are not in the reference color table...this forces you to do guesswork... So far for me its approximately 65% clear report and 35% guess report...shall use this till we get better kit than this... Note: I mostly use API products for my aquariums. Thanks

Works well

Good Quality

Very well packed and company sealed Original product received. It's Made in the USA and not the (API- Aquarium Products India). 4 test tubes with stoppers come along in the kit. You Can Check Ph, High Range Ph(If you have Cichlids that need high Ph), Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate. Wish it had Chlorine, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphate checking too though they are very cheap chemicals but should have been added. To get the accurate value you have to shake the hell out of the bottles for 30 seconds or you will get the wrong result. The Stick method is easier to use and just takes a minute and with this, you have to make a Chemistry lab on your table. eSHa is one more company that makes awesome test sticks. You just dip it in the aquarium and match the colors and it's 1000 rupees cheaper. It's also available on Amazon. You can choose between the two. Hope the review was helpful. Do hit the thumbs up I just want to see how many of you guys got benefitted from my review.

Please be aqara, these tests require minuscule drops. So you want a product that has long shelf life. Just like many imported multi vitamins and other such products, sellers are selling products that are close to expiring date. I got mine with only 6 months remaining.

All tests are accurate for ammonia tests u have to mix both bottles 1 and 2 and other use singles bottles for ph low and high there r two bottles both r different. in the container there r 2 ammonia 2 nitrites 1 nitrate and 2 ph bottles easy to use but read the instructions properly in the manual

I moved away from test strips and bought the API 800 Test Freshwater Master Kit. One of the best decisions I have made for my aquarium. Test strips may look convenient but once the container is opened and the strips are exposed to air the clock is ticking. Moisture and oxygen start degrading the reagents immediately. After about 30 days the accuracy drops off badly. At that point the readings are questionable and you may as well consider them unreliable. For something as important as water quality, that simply is not good enough. The API Freshwater Master Kit solves that problem completely. The reagents are stored in sealed bottles so they remain stable and accurate for a long time. Using it is straightforward. Fill the test tube with tank water to the line, add the correct number of drops from the bottle, cap the tube and shake. For nitrate there is a second bottle and a longer shake but it is still very simple. Wait the specified time, then compare the colour against the chart. That is it. What you get in return is far more reliable information. The colour changes are clearer and the scale is more precise than strips. You can properly track ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH rather than relying on vague strip colours that can be difficult to read. Each kit also lasts a very long time because you get a large number of tests from the bottles. It ends up being far better value than constantly replacing strips that degrade quickly. If you want accurate, repeatable readings and a clear picture of what is happening in your tank water, this kit is excellent. Simple to use, dependable and well worth the money. Highly recommended for any serious fish keeper. 🐟

Excellent Quality. Accurate test result. I recommend this product. Delivery recieved early

After using another brand from the petstore, we switched over to these brand a few years back. It is sensitive and easy to use. It is avaliable at petstores (sometimes cheaper) so check your local store first. I check the water for my axolotl once a week and this kit lasts months. I actually only use half for the ammonia and nitrate drops and measured exactly half the liquid amount to extend the life of the kit. Exactly the same results just use 4 drops and half a vial. OVERALL: Would recommend this to any tank lover :)

There is a reason why this test kit is considered the best amongst aquarists and fishkeepers. It is more on the pricey side and there are definitely more cost effectivr kits in the market. However, it very simple to use and the instructions are easy to follow. Highly recommend this kit for individuals starting out in the hobby as testing the water is essential for keeping your fish alive.
