In a previous thread I asked if a FW ammonia test would/will work with SW. Yes or No?

I'll need to purchase SW tests seperatly here as FW dominates my local market. My LFS will proly tell me FW tests are just as good for SW. BUt I want to be sure,

What are the most vital INDIVIDALE tests I need to look for/at?

All input here will be appriciated.

Thanks

What is the brand?

Nutra Fin. I think...

But as far a Solo tests, what should I look for? Ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, Ph? Am I missing something.

Ok. I'll look for one. Anything else??

Like I said FW dominates here, are there Double duty tests?

API test kits are for both FW and SW. You just have to get the different color cards for each one.

That link has pictures of all the color cards from API.

Get reliable test kits like the API tests. The API saltwater master kit is perfect for beginners.

Salifert is also a good brand
