Testing your aquarium’s water parameters regularly is an important part of keeping and maintaining a healthy environment for your fish and invertebrates. Fritz 6 in 1 Test Strips are a fast and efficient way to accurately measure six important parameters in both fresh and saltwater.
Fritz 6 in 1 Test Strips measures: pH, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, general hardness, and chlorine.
The measure of how acidic or alkaline your water is; most fish and plants have a ideal range where they thrive. Rapid pH swings cause stress.
A toxic byproduct produced by beneficial bacteria breaking down ammonia; even low levels damage fish gills and blood oxygen capacity.
The end product of the nitrogen cycle; less toxic than nitrite, but accumulates over time and stresses fish at high levels.
A measure of your water’s buffering capacity; it stabilizes pH and prevents dangerous swings, making it one of the most practically important parameters to track.
The concentration of dissolved calcium and magnesium; affects osmoregulation, breeding behavior, and whether your water is a match for the fish and plants you’re keeping.
Added to tap water by municipalities to kill pathogens; harmless to humans at those levels but directly toxic to fish and the beneficial bacteria.
Immerse the strip for two seconds and then remove strip from the water. DO NOT shake off the excess water.
Compare against the color chart after appropriate time.
For pH, GH, KH, and Chlorine tests, wait 15 seconds to read results
For Nitrite and Nitrate, wait 60 seconds to read results
