API Master Liquid Test Kit

API Master Liquid Test Kit

The API® POND MASTER TEST KIT measures the most important levels in your pond quickly and accurately, including pH, ammonia, nitrite, and phosphate. Product conducts over 500 tests and is compact and convenient for easy home storage with 6 bottles of liquid test reagent, laminated color cards, 4 glass test tubes, and a complete step-by-step instructional booklet.

The "Big Four" Essential Tests

This kit includes everything you need to monitor the biological cycle of your pond:

1. pH (Wide Range): Ensures your water isn't too acidic or alkaline, protecting the protective slime coat of your fish.

2. Ammonia: Detects the most toxic substance in a pond, usually caused by fish waste or overfeeding.

3. Nitrite ($NO_{2}^{-}$): Monitors the second stage of the nitrogen cycle to prevent "brown blood disease."

4. Phosphate ($PO_{4}^{3-}$): Helps you track the primary nutrient responsible for excess algae blooms and green water.

Key Features

• Superior Accuracy: Liquid reagents are more precise than paper strips, offering professional-level data for serious hobbyists.

• Massive Value: Performs over 500 tests, making it the most cost-effective way to monitor your pond throughout the season.

• Complete Station: Includes 6 bottles of test solution, 4 glass test tubes with airtight caps, a holding tray, and a waterproof instruction manual.

   
• High-Definition Color Charts: Calibrated for outdoor lighting to ensure you get an easy, accurate read every time.

Why Choose the Master Kit?

While test strips are great for a quick check, the Master Liquid Test Kit is essential for:

• Cycling a new pond or filter.

• Troubleshooting sick or lethargic fish.

• Managing heavy fish loads where ammonia can spike quickly.

• Pinpointing the exact cause of persistent algae issues.

Storage Tip: Keep your kit in a cool, dark place. Heat and sunlight can degrade the reagents, affecting the accuracy of your results over time.
