API Nitrate Test Kit, 100 Gram

This product is good..But bad packaging and seller does not know how to pack delicate items..The tube which came along with the product broke due to seller's mistake...

Up to the mark.

You need this kit for marine aquarium, easy to test and read the results. I haven't compared it with other brands test kit, but so far the results shown has helped me in bringing nitrate under control

on time delivery. good product

Excellent.

good

good value for money

i am already using API Ammonia and Nitrite test kit. When this Nitrate test kit came i opened it quickly and used it on my well set tank. I always have zero Ammonia and zero Nitrite. When I used this Nitrate test kit it says 40 PPM Nitrate which is not good. Same time i changed 30% water. 15 minutes after changing water i again done the testing and it was showing near 20 PPM Nitrate. This made me understand when and how much water should i change... API test kit is really good now i know my tank better in water parameters. Just go for it... If you see picture this is what my results are. I use all test kit from API.. happy customer :)

Everything looks good

Great value for the number of tests you get.The second bottle must be shaken for at least 30 seconds to obtain accurate test results.

Works as intended. The instructions were super clear and easy to follow. A truly great product for our salt water tank.

API kits are fairly accurate for the price, I highly recommend them for salt water aquarium owners that need and should have at least 2 kits of every important test type so they can cross reference results if they feel something is wrong with a particular test result. API fills that niche perfectly with pretty accurate easy to use kits that cost a quarter the price of the more accurate ones like Salifert, ELOS and Red Sea Pro.The API Nitrate Kit is as simple as it gets, just fill the vial to the marker or better yet use a syringe and add 5ml as directed. Then add 10 drops of reagent "A". swirl for a bit then shake reagent "B" for 30 seconds very vigorously and add 10 drops of that. Shake the whole thing for one minute vigorously and then wait 5 minutes to get a result.IMPORTANT NOTE: If you forget to shake reagent "B" you might as well throw the whole bottle of reagent out. This solution separates out in the container after a few hours into layers of different chemicals. If you don't shake it, you will be dripping out 10 drops of just one of those chemicals and remaining mixture will be compromised. The end result is that the next time you use it and shake it up properly the typically result is a lower reading than normal. Just remember to always shake reagent B properly for 30 seconds and you wont have any problems.If your Nitrates go down to reading Zero on the API kit, then it's time to move to a more accurate kit that is designed to read very low Nitrate levels. If your keeping a SPS Reef Tank you need the Nitrates to be near Zero and the API kit will not be accurate enough to read the small amounts that may be in your aquarium. For FOWLR Tanks, Nitrate is not as not as big of an issue, so an API kit or two is all you will probably need.

I mean if you need to tell the difference between bad and good it's fine. But people aways saying the test strips suck. I wouldn't really say I know exactly where I land with this ether lol
