API Freshwater Master Test Kit
The API Freshwater Master Test Kit contains everything you need to monitor and treat the five biggest aquarium parameters for optimal tank health. The complete kit measures levels of pH, High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate, all of which can have lethal impact on your aquatic ecosystem if left unchecked, as these sensitive balances can change rapidly in response to fish waste, uneaten food, algae and water additions.
The kit includes 7 test solutions, easy-to-read instructions, four glass test tubes with snap-tight caps and a colour chart for reference information.

I’ve used this kit for three months now and it’s become my go-to for weekly water checks. The color chart is clear and the test tubes are easy to handle. I can spot ammonia spikes early, which helps me maintain a healthy environment for my bettas.

The instructions are straightforward and the test solutions work well. I noticed a slight variation in nitrate readings compared to other kits, but overall it’s reliable for daily monitoring.

Great value for the five parameters tested. I appreciate the inclusion of high range pH, which helps me adjust water balance during seasonal changes. My tank has stayed stable since I started using this kit.
