API Saltwater Master Test Kit
API Saltwater Master Test Kit is a liquid aquarium test kit for marine aquariums, measuring high range pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate to help protect saltwater fish and invertebrates from unsafe water conditions.
API Saltwater Master Test Kit for Core Marine Aquarium Parameters
Saltwater aquariums can develop harmful ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH problems from fish waste, uneaten food, plant refuse, and organic buildup. This kit combines the main saltwater water-quality tests needed for routine monitoring, cycling checks, and troubleshooting marine systems.
Marine Water Testing for High Range pH Ammonia Nitrite and Nitrate

- Designed for saltwater aquarium water testing.

- Useful for new saltwater aquarium cycling and established tank maintenance.
- Helps detect invisible water problems before they result in fish stress or losses.
- Includes multiple liquid reagents, test tubes, colour chart, tray, and instructions.
- Can be used in reef aquariums, though API recommends the Reef Master Test Kit for reef-specific calcium, KH, phosphate, and nitrate testing.
