I was going to buy an API master testing but my Local doesnt sell them. I dont have a pets at home near by where I live and I live in a major city! (Why didn't they think the people of Leeds needed pet suplies to)
Just wanted to know how many tests I could do with the master Kit?

Hiya aquanovice. The API Masterkit is a liquid test kit (as opposed ti a dipstick type), and tests for Ph, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate. You might be able to buy it online perhaps if you cant get one.

Another one I think is reasonably accurate is the Nutrafin make. I am not sure if they do a Master kit or if you would have to buy a seperate kit for each test, but I think they might be worth looking for.

If you can't find the Master Test Kit, aquanovice then just buy the individual kits for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. It's better than having none at all. Alternatively, try online at somewhere like www.aquatics-online.co.uk. They're very reliable and have quick delivery. Smile

I'm not being pedantic, but...does the 800 include the high range pH as well. If so, it would be 160 of each :lol:
