API NITRITE TEST KIT 180-Test Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Test Kit

Not only helpful for keeping fish from mysteriously dying but easy and fun to use. Livebearers now days are not as strong as they used to be in all types of water conditions and good water quality is essential. This product will let you know when your nitrite is down near zero with easy to use color codes.

Works well to test nitrite, however Id recommend just getting the master test kit for the price of the two. Youre better off getting more tests than just this one. This test has been accurate and helped me lower my nitrites though.

What more is there to say? It tests aquariums for nitrite. Actually you do the testing and take a small water sample, add drops of reagent and match colors. If you find nitrite you need water changes. Pretty simple stuff.

Excellent way and only good nitrate kit for the money....the should make a digital kit that, mesures everything. ?.wouldmt that be nice

This is a good teesing kit, Im sad my brother broke the glass tube but other than that Im quite pleased

I dont like the packing for products

use it for my AP system

Kit says it contains color chart and glass test tube with tight cap but didn’t got none of that. Now i have to wait 2 days to test my water tested. Disappointed.

I worked in three pet shops as a teen and later managed the slat water department in a very large pet shop in Philadelphia. I have kept fish since I was five years old but have been on hiatus for the past 20 years and not had any tanks. These kits have been around for ages and are very accurate if you use them for their true intended purpose; freshwater community tanks or similar. Dont try and use these the nitrite or ammonia for saltwater tanks of any sort. Dont use the pH test kit for tanks that need exact pH values for high pH animals like cichlids (though this is less of a problem if you read below). These tests are extremely economical and provide many more tests per dollar than any other kits available. My son is six and my daughter is four. We decided to raise tadpoles twice this year and needed to monitor ammonia, nitrite, and pH. The 40-ish year old design of these kits still fit that bill perfectly and were exactly what we needed. I wish the scale on the pH kit went higher, but it goes high enough for community fish. Tadpoles here tend to like higher pH values of ~8.2 and the pH kit doesnt go that high. However, I got a rough enough estimate if the pH test indicated that the pH was off the chart high as water isnt going to go much above 8.2 unless you use chemical inappropriately. Ammonia and nitrite test kits worked perfectly as in the past and averted many potential tadpole disasters and crying children. Weve kept snails, clams, some minnows, and loads of plants in the tank while the tadpoles have developed so the bio load was always changing. Still great kits even after 40 years at a very affordable price. Highly recommended for their intended usage scenario.

didnt really get to use the test kit yet, but G2Liquidators provided an expired test kit. if you look at the last four numbers of the bottle itll say something along the lines of 0908 and that will be the month/year the test kit was bottled. API recommends you replace test kits every 3 years.
