Aquarium Test kits?

[Emperios]

Anyone using any API Freshwater master test kit or the likes?

How often do you use and is there other additional test kit you use?

What are the remedies you would apply if any result were found to be undesired?

What are the remedies you would apply if any result were found to be undesired?

Any signs of ammonia or nitrites,
- daily testing until problem resolved
- daily dose with Prime (amount for full tank volume) until problem is resolved - it binds the NH3/NH4 & NO2 for 24 hours, making them non-toxic to livestock
- daily dose with Seachem Stability - to encourage regrowth of BB

Nitrates too high (>20ppm),
- Water changes to get levels down
- Siphon rotting debris from tank
- Reexamine feeding frequency and quantity
- Reexamine stocking - is tank overstocked (AQAdvisor)?
- Clean canister

They can be unreliable and may produce inaccurate results, leading to spurious conclusions.

If you are cycling, then be patient and let your tank establish itself.

If you fish show signs of distress, keep up with regular husbandry.

If you plant heavily and focus on keeping them healthy, thereis no need to worry nor conduct these tests.

I used to test, but not anymore.
