NT Labs Aquarium Lab Multi Test Kit

NT Labs Aquarium Lab Multi Test Kit

NT Labs Aquarium Lab Multi Test Kit is a liquid aquarium water test kit for fishkeepers who want to monitor six key parameters: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH and KH. It uses simple drop-count tests and has an integral test tube rack, so regular water testing is easy for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.

Key Benefits

• Tests six key parameters in one kit: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH and KH
• Liquid tests designed for accurate results
• Calibrated dropper bottles deliver drops of the same size every time
• Simple to use: add aquarium water to the test tube and count the drops needed
• Integral test tube rack keeps testing tidy and convenient
• 200 tests of the six key parameters, so you can keep checking your water over the long term
• Clear pictorial instructions on the back of the box show you what to do from the start
• Colour-coded stickers help prevent mix-ups and false readings

Why Regular Water Testing Matters

Good water quality is the main factor in successful fishkeeping. Poor water chemistry stresses fish, and as stress rises, their immunity can drop. That can leave them more susceptible to pathogenic infections and poor health. An unchecked build-up of nitrate will also fuel algae growth in your aquarium. Testing regularly lets you keep levels where they should be and create a safer environment for your fish.

pH, ammonia and nitrite should be checked regularly: weekly in a new aquarium and fortnightly in an established, mature aquarium.

How to Use

• Add water from your aquarium to the test tube.
• Add the reagent from the calibrated dropper bottle, counting the drops needed for that test.
• Follow the pictorial instructions on the back of the box for each test.
• Use the booklet of colour-coded stickers to label both the test tubes and the test tube lids, so you always run the same test in the same tube.

Why Label the Test Tubes?

Reagents can contaminate a tube. For example, GH reagents left in a tube could give a false reading if you then ran an ammonia test in it. Keeping one test to one labelled tube avoids this.

Suitable For

• Aquarium owners who want a straightforward way to monitor water quality
• New aquariums, which should be tested weekly for pH, ammonia and nitrite
• Established, mature aquariums, which should be tested fortnightly for pH, ammonia and nitrite

Frequently Asked Questions

Which water parameters does this test kit measure?
It tests six: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH and KH.

How often should I test my aquarium water?
Check pH, ammonia and nitrite weekly in a new aquarium and fortnightly in an established, mature aquarium.

How do the tests work?
They are liquid drop tests. You add aquarium water to the test tube, then count the drops needed from the calibrated dropper bottle. Every drop is the same size.

Why are there stickers for the test tubes and lids?
The colour-coded stickers let you dedicate each tube and lid to one test. This matters because reagents such as GH can contaminate a tube and give a false reading if you later run an ammonia test in it.

How many tests can I do with one kit?
The kit provides 200 tests of the six key parameters.

Why does nitrate matter?
An unchecked build-up of nitrate fuels algae growth in your aquarium, so testing for it helps you stay on top of it.
