NT LABS Aquarium Water Mini Test (3in1 Test Kit)
When to use?
The key to successful fish keeping is excellent water quality. The Aquarium Water Mini tests three water parameters: pH, Nitrite and Ammonia.
Ammonia
Ammonia is excreted by fish as a waste product. It is extremely toxic to fish, and is broken down into less toxic nitrite by the beneficial bacteria in the filter of your aquarium.
Nitrite
Nitrite is produced by the beneficial bacteria in the pond and filters as they break down harmful ammonia excreted by fish. Although not as toxic as ammonia, nitrite is still very damaging to the health of the fish. Nitrite itself is broken down into nitrate which is significantly less harmful to fish.
pH
pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water. A stable pH is essential for fish health and compatibility with tank inhabitants.
| Parameter | Test Method | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Ammonia | Color change in test strip | Weekly or after fish addition |
| Nitrite | Color change in test strip | Weekly or after fish addition |
| pH | Color change in test strip | Monthly or when water changes |

Easy to use and gives clear results. I tested pH, ammonia, and nitrite weekly and noticed a quick improvement in water quality after adjusting the filter. The color changes are very visible and the kit fits well in my small tank setup.

Good value for the three parameters tested. I found the instructions straightforward and the strips don’t fade during testing. It’s helpful to monitor ammonia levels, which I didn’t catch before using this kit.
