The NT Labs Aquarium Lab Multi-Test Kit is an all-round liquid test kit for freshwater aquariums, covering the six key parameters: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH). Liquid drop tests are much more accurate than water test strips, and the dropper bottles give drops of the same size every time.
Included
- Up to 200 tests combined
- A water quality guide with optimum levels and suggestions for correcting problems
- Colour charts
- An integrated test tube rack
- Pictorial instructions on the back of the box
How it works: add aquarium water to the test tube and count the drops needed.
Good to know
- Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate results are reported as nitrogen, so they match the safe levels quoted for fish and plants.
- The Ammonia 2 reagent can turn blue over time, and the pH reagent can change colour. Neither affects the results while the kit is in date.
- For brackish tanks, NT Labs recommends its Marine Lab kits for the most accurate results.
More testing: individual replacement tests for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH and KH are available separately, such as the NT Labs Nitrate Test. For a smaller, simpler kit, see the NT Labs Mini Aquarium Test Kit.
