Great video! Mixing the test solution is so important as it can change results. Mix all the test solutions well, especially the ammonia and Nitrate test solutions before testing. Also, be sure to clean the test tubes well after each use as a dirty tube can affect test results.

The nitrate MUST be read in natural day light, not under a lamp or any other artificial lighting. I stand right in front of my screen door every time and can see the correct color very easy. Before doing this I was doing a lot of unnecessary water changes thinking the liquid was red under a lamp when it was really orange. The tube will often look red just looking at it but when in natural day light the correct color will come through, which is more often than not a darker orange.

Hey Kevin, riddle me this...Why would I get 3 very different test results from 3 different test kits on 5 separate aquariums (confirmed MTS), tested with each kit/strips ? To be clear on what I did was test each of my 5 tanks with 3 different test kits each. I tested each tank on the same day and time ( give or a take 30 minutes). I used a Fluval Master Kit, a Top Fin Master kit and Quick Strips. The results were drastically different from each test on the same aquarium for each testing method. For example; off the top of my head, testing a 20 gal. guppy tank with Fluvals Master Kit, test result were a very high PH, Ammonia levels not present, and 0 nitrates, and when tested the same tank with Top Fin Mater kit , PH in the neutral range, Ammonia leves elevated, and nitrates through the roof. And very different results again with Quick Strips. Therse are just examples and not actual results but simular in the range of results. The reason I did all that was because while testing 1 aquarium the results seemed way off from my norm, so I retested usiing a different kit, then another. I then had to do this to all the tanks to ensure I was hallucinating. It makes me wonder, are these kits worth it? Am I being ripped off? I test each tank every week, or if I think there is a problem. How do I know if I am getting accurate readings?

Thats a great question. Possible that any deviation on how you take the test can change the results...try the API master test kit. It's said to be the best and most accurate but it also has its false readings as well. But its the lesser evil, if you know what i mean...

@@KaveManAquatics I tried to make sure I did all tests the same. I am glad to know that false readings occur. I have just ordered the API kit. Thank you so much for your help and the best videos of KZitem :)

What if my phone is at 6? A couple months ago it was between 7.4 & 7.6. Now is light yellow or 6.0. Everything else is ok.

So we can just reuse the glass tubes? And best way to discard solutions and clean glass tubes?

Yes, a simple rinse with tap water is fine. You can discard right down the drain 😊

Has anyone else noticed it takes longer than 5 minutes for the color to develop on the master test kit? I started cycling my aquarium about 4 days ago by dumping in a bunch of fish food (for bottom feeders) to start the ammonia production. Tested today, got 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 0 nitrate. Did I do something wrong?

My tank is showing nitrite reading as purple. I have 4 fish in my tank. (3 glow fish & 1 Dalmatian fish) had the tank for 3 months. This is my second time testing and everything else is fine just nitrite levels are off . Any help is much appreciated. Appreciate you

Excellent video for my son and me to watch on our very first test of our nano tank. The tank has been running for about three days with API Stress Coat and Quick Start added at the start. It's beginning to smell a bit today (day 4) and so it was time to test using this test kit. Our fish are due to arrive in about 10 days time. According to our tests we have 0.25 Ammonia, pH 6.8 with 0 Nitrite and 0 Nitrate. I had added some fish food to the tank on day 2 to give the bacteria something to work on. Should I add some Ammo Lock at this point? Or should I add more Quick Start?

Sounds like your tank isnt cycled yet. Before your new fish arrive use this technique to make your tank safe and get your cycle going - kzitem.info/news/bejne/yKpsyIRqmKJonHY

What do you do when you have a amomoa in your fish 🐟 tank and you don't have fish 🐟 in your tank

Someone told me you're supposed to read the color from the bottom side of the tube. Can someone confirm this?
