What products will need to be purchased to fix the problems identified. I’m getting this as a gift so I’m not sure what readings would come back so are there designated products that would need to be used to fix different issues?
- This kit is used to check water parameters like pH, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Aside from the pH, everything is adjusted through water changes. Products I’d recommend would be Seachem Prime, Seachem Stabiity, and a gravel vacuum.

Is this multiple tests or one? Cause I am not paying that much for one test.
- It says it can do 800 tests
Helpful?
How long does this last?
- 800 test total but 160 if you included each of the 5 tests as 1. You usually should test once a week so 160 weeks so a little over 3 years! This test kit is defintley worth the 33 dollars! Also it expires after 3 years
Helpful?
will API master test kit register correctly for amonia with Kordon Amquel plus
- 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.

I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle.

My betta is a baby boy (4monthold) When I first got him he was red with white. 2 months ago his growing fins began becoming blue. Abt 3 weeks ago I see that he began losing his color a bit& began becoming kind of transparent, so I took the water to get checked& the water was good but the store couldnt check for ammonia cause they had ran out of that test(water has conditioner). Last night I notice that he started getting a shiny silver color on 1side of mouth& in gill. But he is acting normal
