API 5 in 1 Test kits, convenient and easy testing of Aquarium water.

In order to maintain a healthy and vibrant Aquarium, regular testing of the water is essential. Certain chemicals are present in the water and when their levels rise or fall, it can cause potential damage to the fish and plants.

Testing the water can give you a chance to quickly and effectively treat the water to prevent long term damage.

The API 5 in 1 Test Kit is an easy to use set. Simply dip a test strip into the water and compare it against the colour chart supplied.

The 5 in 1 kit tests for pH, Carbon Hardness (KH), Nitrates, Nitrites and General Hardness and can be used in Fresh and Marine Aquariums

Measures ammonia to help prevent fish loss.

Benefits:

• Ammonia levels in fresh and saltwater aquariums

Follow API Easy Care Guide and use the AMMONIA TEST KIT:

• During Regular Care
• When addressing Water Problem Solving issues

Taking a few minutes each week to maintain and monitor aquarium conditions is the key to a healthy aquarium.   Tropical fish continually release ammonia into the aquarium through their gills, urine and solid waste.   Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water.  Even small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia will kill fish.  Ammonia is the number one killer of tropical fish.  The API AMMONIA TEST KIT is mercury-free, salicylate test for fresh and saltwater fish.  The AMMONIA TEST KIT tests ammonia levels from 0 to 8 ppm.

Water Testing

Tests tap water and freshwater aquariums for general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH). Helps detect stress on fish caused by rapid pH shifts, which result from low KH levels and helps aquarists duplicate the natural habitat of their fish.

                                                           API Nitate test kit

High levels of nitrate are a food source for unwanted algae and can indicate poor water quality.

Measures nitrate levels from 0 to 160 ppm.

For freshwater or marine aquariums.

                                                        API Nitite test kit

Monitors nitrite to help prevent fish loss

Benefits:

• Reads Nitrite levels fast and accurate

Follow API Easy Care Guide and use the NITRITE TEST KIT:

• During Regular Care
• When addressing Water Problem Solving issues

Taking a few minutes each week to maintain and monitor aquarium conditions is the key to a healthy aquarium.   Nitrite is produced in the aquarium by fish waste and uneaten fish food.  Toxic nitrite is produced by nitrifying bacteria in the biological filter as it breaks down ammonia. Low levels of nitrite inhibit respiration and suppress the immune system; high levels cause suffocation.  The NITRITE TEST KIT tests for harmful nitrite levels from 0 to 5 ppm.  For use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

                                                                                   API pH TEST KIT

Monitors pH to maintain healthy freshwater conditions

Benefits:

• Fast, easy and accurate
• Reads pH 6.0-7.6

Follow API Easy Care Guide and use the pH TEST KIT:

• During Regular Care
• When addressing Water Problem Solving issues

Taking a few minutes each week to maintain and monitor aquarium conditions is the key to a healthy aquarium.   pH control is imperative to prevent the harmful effects of overly alkaline or acidic aquarium water on fish and plant life.  Fish require a specific pH level to thrive.  However, pH in an aquarium can fluctuate due to fish waste, addition of tap water and the build-up of natural acids.   Use this kit to easily and accurately measure the pH level and maintain a healthy freshwater community aquarium.  For use in freshwater aquariums
