test kits

I know...I have a problem. I was organizing my supply cabinet and realized I have clearly accumulated more test kits than should ever be necessary. BUT it has been helpful having everything I need at arms reach, and the ease of use of these kits has caused me to test consistently, which I’m...

Hello all, I won a Fluval Mini Master Test Kit and have no need for it. They sell between $30-$35, I'm asking $25. These test kits are all pretty old but they read close enough to my salifert/API test kits for quick testing. $25 for the whole lot plus the pH stabilizer and salinity meter...

Ok guys, so I'm sure some of you have seen that I post a lot but this is the first time I'm putting a solid effort into finally setting up my reef tank and I'm trying to do everything right. I have been watching a ton of videos and trying to learn as much as I can but there's a lot of...

As my tank is maturing so are my methods -- and I wanted to share the first of my side by side. Like many out there, I started with the reasonably priced and easily available API Test Kits and have relied on them for the first months of my tanks existence with good results to date - fish alive...

Does anyone know the shelf life on test kits? I did a test yesterday with an API and it turned blue as soon as I added the second reagent. I measured about a 2.0. I checked again tonight and the same result. I pulled out my Hanna checker and received a 0.00. I’d love to go with the Hanna...

Hello, I'm really new to the SW aquarium world and I've got a question to ask everyone... I'm looking to have a reef tank and I am wondering about test kits... I've got the API master kit currently - but I know that I will also need to purchase a few more tests to get things going, Alkalinity...

Hello fellow reefers, I got my tank cycling and currently really excited to start stocking it though I need some help. I need to get a new test kit for it. I know I need to test Nitrates, Cal, Alk, and idk what else to test though I would take suggestions. I do not want to spend a ton of...

should I get a good nitrate test kit or a good phosphate test kit first? I would like to get both but I can only get one for right now.

Hi, I have used lots of the red sea products in the past and been really happy with the results. When I recently set up my reefer 525xl in September I decided to use ATM hot salt but all other product shave been red sea and I am now transitioning to full red sea programme. The products I am...
