Most test kits on the market today that are readily available to the hobbyist do not have the...[more]
Salifert Ammonia Test Kit

Salifert Calcium Test Kit
Calcium is a major constituent of coralline algae, the skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft/leather corals. In many cases too low a calcium concentration retards coral and coralline algae growth. Calcium also fulfils many important biological...[more]

Copper is often used as a treatment for parasite infested fish and it is essential that the correct concentration is used as too high levels can be toxic to marine fish and invertebrates.
Tap water can also be naturally high in copper and it is...[more]

Carbonate hardness/Alkalinity Profi-Test
Calcium is not the only substance needed to form the skeletal material of corals and allow calcareous algae to grow. Carbonate and bicarbonate are also needed and these two substances can have a major effect...[more]
Salifert Nitrate Test Kit
When there are insufficient areas of a tank which are deprived of oxygen (anaerobic zones) or denitrification is not taking place properly, nitrate will build up. This can also happen in an aquarium where the biological loading on the system is causing an imbalance e.g. is...[more]
Salifert Oxygen Test Kit
Corals and marine fish require very high levels of oxygen concentration because of the low solubility of oxygen in salt water so it is very important to regularly test the level of oxygen present.
The Salifert Oxygen Profi-Test is extremely fast, measuring...[more]
Salifert pH Test Kit
The pH value in a marine tank has a major impact on the growth of corals and calcareous algae and on many biological processes.
The pH should not be allowed to fluctuate more than approx. 0.2 units during any 24 hour period and should preferably be kept above...[more]
Salifert Phosphate Test Kit
If phosphate is present in too high a concentration there may be an increase in growth of undesirable algae and if the phosphate level is higher than 0.04 mg/L the growth rate of corals and calcareous algae may decrease by as much as 90%.
Washing fish food (a...[more]
Salifert Strontium Test Kit
In a marine aquarium strontium plays an important role in accelerating the growth of coral and calcareous algae and natural sea water contains approx. 7 - 9 mg/L strontium.
Strontium is very difficult to test for, but if there is found to be a...[more]
