At my LFS the API master kit was £30 (around $50) i thought that was VERY expensive, so i brought the ammonia test for £8 and strips for the nitrate/ite

was wondering what the prices are like everywhere else in this wide world

The API Masterkit usually sells for around $40 here.

The local petco has it at $40, but a LFS who I trust has it for $30.
I love the store- they have everything for cheaper than the chains (A ten gal set up with all equipment for $50) Their fish are always healthy and each tank has its own HOB filter, so there is no cross-contamination. Plus their marine tank is gorgeous.

I'm planning in getting the test kit from the store this weekend- my little tank I'm having to re-cycle has just hit 0 ammonia, and I don't have a nitrite test XD.

JACK
What/who is your LFS?

As you're in the UK, you may be interested to know that I got my master kit from Pets at Home for about £18.99 ~

umm, don't use strips, they are hard to read and usually inaccurate. and the local stores here are way more expensive then the chains, a 10 gallon costs $30 at the LFS, and our walmart sells them for $10, big difference, and the rest of the items are similarly priced.

oh wow thats a good price, its called the japanese koi company (this is the only LFS i saw it at) apparently its one of the biggest fish shops in europe, they sell koi carp worth £2000 (and i thought zebra plecos were expensive).

i looked in Pets at home and they didnt have it, maybe they were out of stock :S. il look next time im there

I bought mine online for 17.99 due to my local fish store doesnt have them, just those test strips that dont give accurate results.

I got my SW kit for about $18 from drsfostersmith.com, and I believe the FW test was around the same price as well.

Check out Arowana prices


Test kit here is about 65
my N0H3 kit was around 34$ alone.

just looked at my LFS and it was $35 (didn't buy it because that is expensive) but maybe I am seeing that that is pretty normal for a pet store

Master FW kit from API is $39.99 CAD at most lfs. I originally bought each test separately ($9 - 14 each) and not sure yet if I'll just continue to do that or get the master kit (they all run out at different times...)

mjordan

40 but mine next are going to be bought on drfosters for 25 bucks

I couldn't find the master test kit at any of the LFSs or chains. So while I was paying visits to LFSs I would buy kits individually from the different stores.
