Aquarium Pharmaceuticals AP13402 Reef Master Test Kit

Most test kits are priced much higher, if you are on a budget this kit will do just fine. It is easy to use if you can follow basic directions and are not color blind.

great solution for monitoring your tank parameters. accurate meters also. the price here cant be beat. i'm so thankful that i can get a deal here. but yah, this product is great- a must have if you want to keep an eye on your water to keep your reef smiling.

Use it to maintain my 55g reef tank. Very nice test kit. Easy to follow instructions. Easy to perform tests and assess results.

Would be an excellent kit. However, mine did not come with color charts. Called API. Supposed to get in mail. Also, this kit is needed in conjunction with saltwater test kit. Wish it was one complete set.

Simply put having a test kit is essential for any reef aquarium keeper. I only have a 28-gallon tall aquarium with just soft corals, a feather duster, a few damsels & a couple of cleaner shrimp. The API Reef Master Kit is well packaged and everything is labeled very clearly. I sometimes have difficulty interpreting the nitrate and phosphate tests as the results are limited to viewing color code charts of different shades of green and orange. For example when I conduct the test for nitrates, my resulting shade of green from my test tube is in the range of .50 to 1.0 as my best guess instead of .50 or 1.0.The instructions are very well written and easy to follow although I can't help, but notice API's intentional attempt at product placement by their brand. For example if your test kit yields a high result for phosphates, the instructions recommends that you purchase & use API's Phos-Zorb to help reduce phosphates in addition to conducting water changes & removing waste. If you have low calcium levels you can use API's Eco Calcium Marine to increase calcium levels. If your nitrates are high you can use API Tap Water Filter to help reduce nitrates in addition to water changes & the removal of waste.Some other reviewers have complained about the absence of the ammonia test, but I have already owned API's ammonia test kit (with its different shades of yellow test results chart) that I used when I initially cycled my aquarium, so adding the reef master kit just supplemented to what I already have. Didn't need the instructions help to buy another API product for ammonia testing because I already did.Overall an adequate test kit for the very important task of truly knowing what's in your aquarium water (or at least ballpark figure ranges) to help your corals, fish & invertebrates thrive successfully.

Has all the supplies you need and a case to keep it all in. I wish it had a quick instruction sheet for all the tests. The instruction book is very detailed and the testing is accurate. Highly recommend for testing your reef tank. A must have.
