If you want to play it safe give it 3 more weeks. By the way - the tetra
laborette test kit comes with practically everything you need in the way

of
tests and is cheap. Note though that it doesn't come with a nitrate test

but
it does come with ph, ammonia, nitrite, carbonate hardness, general

hardness
tests. Good luck and later!


I think this may have changed. Recently I bought the tetra laborette
test kit and found that the ammonia test had been replaced by a second
bottle of the pH test. I thought it may have been a mistake, but the
picture in the manual also shows 2 pH bottles. Note, this isn't even
something useful like a high range and low range bottle, but two wide

range.

Cheers,

That would be too bad if it has changed. I bought 2 of the kits so far and
they have sal****er ph and freshwater ph (thus 2 different bottles of ph
tester) test reagent bottles, but man if they got rid of the ammonia test
that would be a big mistake. If they have done that I would recommend the
next cheap test kit in the aquarium pharmaceuticals average test kit - it
doesn't include carbonate hardness or general hardness reagents though. :-(
