Hello all. I had a saltwater tank for a short while and bought the API Master Test kit that includes nitrites, nitrates, pH, and ammonia. I switched that tank over to freshwater. Would this test kit be ok to test with for my freshwater tank? Thanks!

I don't think the SW kit would work on FW. Not 100% sure though.

i dont think so cuase its really chemical reactions with the water as far as i know. so its proubaby going to react different with the saltwater..but in my freshwater api kit the card that you use. you know the Key, on the nitrite card it says for salt and freshwater..maybe on api's website it would say. but they again they proubably would want you to spend more money so who knows

True.. if the card for the test says saltwater & freshwater, then it would be ok for freshwater. If it just says saltwater then it won't give good results.

Cody

it stinks for you though.. those kits are pretty expensive
