- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- Using the API Freshwater Aquarium Master Test Kit is simple. We can test for Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate levels in the water along with PH levels of your water. Your API freshwater master test kit is easy to measure and read your results. API freshwater master test kit directions can be difficult to read and understand. We will break down the step by step procedure to achieve accurate results.
Pro-Tip...
Having crystal clear and clean-looking water DOES NOT mean your water is healthy for your fish. The only way to determine that is by testing your water. Testing is a must in the fish keeping hobby. You can not control what is not measured!

Hello kaveman I'm completely lost in my water testing would you text me at 1-505-289-1516 I have several concerns I don't want to lose my fish. I watched your video several times. I would appreciate your help thank you my name is Edward
Also I thought I should add I do have a 48 gallon tank I purchased two sun jvc wave maker's I placed them exactly the way you showed in your video And the fish absolutely hated the bottom current lol so I have one on the left side and 1 on the right side on the top Will this still work to help produce more oxygen
I need help
What killing my fish 🐠 in my tank brand new tank
Great video! Mixing the test solution is so important as it can change results. Mix all the test solutions well, especially the ammonia and Nitrate test solutions before testing. Also, be sure to clean the test tubes well after each use as a dirty tube can affect test results.
They've updated the packaging on this kit, thankfully. So much better.
Every time I stumble across a kaveman instructional video for something, whether its filters, kits, tanks, whatever, I am glad for it. You keep things as simple as they need to be, and you keep it real. There are honestly not very many people who can teach effectively like this. You're one of them.
Thank you Cody! That is the best feedback I've heard all day! 😊 Glad you're enjoying the channel and finding it helpful!!
@@KaveManAquatics I have zero ammonia but have 10 ppm. How do I fix this? Do I do a partial water change?
@@garygreen7104 what do you mean you have 0 ammonia but 10ppm ammonia? that doesnt make sense
Man. I have looked at so many channels on using this kit and yours is by far the best and most easy to understand. Thank you.
Thanks man, glad I could help! 😊
EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO !!!☺🎓🗽
@@MickyTubbs1985 Glad you enjoyed it!!
Kaveman kev keeps it simple
This was so helpful. Easy to understand, straight to the point, and no babbling. Thank you 👍
Thank you, I try to make all my videos with very little babble lol
@@KaveManAquatics ..😂 babbleless is the way to go
It’s my first time as adult caring for a betta fish. No more small bowls, one food diet, and barley decorated bowl. But that means that I was definitely overwhelmed with a lot of information, including water parameters. Thank you for making this, it really helped me learn and become more comfortable with testing the water and making sure my future betta lives in a good new home.
Glad I could help! Congrats on your new Betta! 😁
Thank you SO much!!! I have literally had this test kit for a year, but was so intimidated by the instructions, that I continued to take samples to my fish store. ....Mind blown!!! Great details on the shaking, too!!! BEST instructional video on fish keeping, EVER! Now, I’m a pro! 🐟 🐠
lol Glad to hear it!!! 😊💪
Hi, am also using the same kitof API but had very little knowledge of the usage details. Now I think am well equipped. Thank u so much.
The nitrate MUST be read in natural day light, not under a lamp or any other artificial lighting. I stand right in front of my screen door every time and can see the correct color very easy. Before doing this I was doing a lot of unnecessary water changes thinking the liquid was red under a lamp when it was really orange. The tube will often look red just looking at it but when in natural day light the correct color will come through, which is more often than not a darker orange.
A high CRI (color rendering index) flashlight will also work.
Thanks for this. I'm going to try this next time and do a comparison.
People also go wrong by holding it against the white card. That will show a higher level. As you say, light needs to pass through the tube for an accurate reading. 👍
The 10 ppm and 20 ppm color blocks look EXACTLY the same shade of orange to me. I can never tell what my nitrate reading really is. Usually I just guess. (I record them in a log book.)
@@TheRealLaughingGravy I get same problem. The chart is rubbish.
Just did my first water testing. Thank you for the step by step guide that I can pause and follow right along.
My pleasure! Glad it helped! 😊
@@KaveManAquatics I keep discus whats best ph level
Mine comes back as the highest on the low ph test, and the lowest on the high ph test
Good God in glad I found you. This is so clear and concise. Thank you.
lol Glad it was helpful! I'm glad you found the channel also 😊
Thanks man, you make it easy for this old'lady to understand.

Awesome! Glad it helped! 😊
Easy, digestible information and a quality-upload. This API test kit is the only 1 that I use now as the results are so easy to read. Tip top Kev👌
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

Bro,when I first started goldfish, I only used water ager,the fish did fine
Now I'm using bacteria, filters ,theworks ,
@@KaveManAquatics
I have mystery snails in my fancy goldfish tank
I want to add cuttlefish bone for the snails,but I'm worried about water buffering
My PH is always about 7
Any tips please?
Did I miss the PH bottle tutorial 3 drops or did he skip it? I don't see it on your list or the video. I was following his instructions but I have one bottle left over which is the PH 3 drops. Did I mess up?
Thank you Kev. Great content. 55gallons here 23 smaller fish.. 5danio ..6tetra ..2redtail sharks..5 plates..1 plec..1 catfish and a small sucker...2 albino ground feeders..started tank 6 months ago..had real cloudy conditions...but thanks to you and youtube..the fish have never been happier!!
Awesome! Glad I could help 😊💪
Best video on how to use the test kit. Easy to follow and so much better than trying to read the instruction booklet.
Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
This man is the reason my fish tank hobby took off (apart from being a fisherman) and of his tips are top notch. Thanks brother!
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁

Thank you so much! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁
Hey Kev thanks again for another awesome & insightful video. I’m still putting everything together for my 75 gallon aquarium but I’m so thankful that I have all this information. You have made this process so much easier!!! I thank you & so does Amazon Prime ($$$) LOL!!! Seriously though thanks so much. I really do appreciate all the information. Have a good one!!!
Thanks bro, I'm just glad that I'm able to help and spread the joy of this great hobby! Glad you're enjoying the channel! 😊
I love your explanation and detail on ALL your videos - good job 👍🏼
Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
THANK YOU!!! I started a 5G tank about 2 weeks ago (no fish yet) and I followed along with your video. My water looks like it's ready to go! Excellent instructions. :)
Happy to hear you found the video helpful! 😊
straight up info.. thanx so much. too many other videos i saw people were jabbering and trying to be entertaining and funny. this is was the best video i found. quick and easy to understand!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
I’m on Day 2 of aquarium ownership, so I won’t be doing much testing until a day or so. Perfectly explained testing process. This info should prove very handy soon! Thanks for sharing this! 🐠
My pleasure! Welcome to the hobby 😊 I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - th-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
First time having a fish tank. And I just put the conditioner in and put my fish in. I just recent heard of testing the water through fb support group.... So, last week a did a full water change, and I did my first test yesterday.
I had 8.0 High PH, .5 Ammonia, O ppm Nitrite and 0 ppm Nitrate
Not the best but not too bad, gotta get rid of that ammonia
Perfect timing for this video I just picked up at a free 55gal aquarium from a friend and it came with lots of chemicals including this api test kit. I always used the strips before
Thanks, Glad I could help!
I enjoy how you explain things lol, I always remember " GET THAT POOP OUT👍"
😆
Thank you so much for this video! I just got my first test kit (after having a fish for 2 years 🥴) and I followed along with your video while testing my water, it was super straight to the point and easy to follow!
My pleasure! Glad you’re finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
Great video if it’s your 1st aquarium or your 40th this guy has the best instructional skills! Ps reviewing this I realized I wasn’t doing my testing properly..
Thank you bro! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
Well I'll be! You learn everyday, been keeping fish 40 yrs and had all the API test kits for ammonia, nitrite,, phosphates but never had a nitrate test kit which seems to be very important, just usually do 50% water change every 7 days, but that nitrate test seems to say so much about your water quality! Thanks for this video😊😊
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Thank you for posting this excellent video on using the API Master Test Kit!

Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for the step by step walk through, you are the best!!!!!! FYI: Glue a penny on the bottom of the test tubes helps stabilize them better. 🙂
Thats a great tip, thanks!
Kev's the man! 👊🏽 water parameters looking crisp. Ammonia was looking a lil green however turnt yellow 👌🏽
Awesome, glad to hear it! 💪
You are supposed to hold the bottle completely vertical to allow even distribution of the droplets coming out of the solution. And the low point on the water or the trough of the dimple is supposed to be on the line
Great Video Nicely done Thank You!
Denny Giacobe Thanks, glad it was helpful for you! 😊
Thank you again. Kit is in the post I'm in a bit of a panic as I have fish in a tank that I thought was cycled but isn't. Have been using a cheaper ammonia kit and strips but most people recommend this.
This video will be helpful! - th-cam.com/video/9Cuqylaak3E/w-d-xo.html
AWESOME VIDEO! You should be a professor or give a TED talk! i did not want to get into parameter testing because it seemed complicated, but now I want to do it just for fun!!
🤣🤣 Thaks bro, I'll consider that one day haha

Just did my first master test after watching your video & from following your recommendation on tank cycling without seeded media I added 6 neon tetras & a ghost shrimp to my 10 gallon. Everything is good & the fish seem healthy & acting normally. Added a little extra stability before putting them in & all went well. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁

Curious, I have a less than 3 week old small 10 gallon aquarium with 1 betta.. water is cloudy. Using this same test, ammonia and Nitrite is 0 except the nitrates are reading 40 PPM. Should I do a water change or “do nothing” as your other video says about cloudy water in a new tank?
You are amazing..👍
All the Best
Thank you so much 😀
So helpful thanks

Hey Kev. Can you do a video showing how accurate or un- accurate the test strips are compared to the master kit.
Hello Kave, You don't have Idea about how much I LOVE YOU. I hope your wife doesn't get jealous. Thank you for this video and YESSSSSSSSSSSSS You are the BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD. I love your book about the clear water, but because I am old fashion, I am going to order the paper book. Thank you.

I follow you for all my doubts. I have a question my water is from Borewell very thing is normal when I check the parameters with API kit but my "High range"Ph is always 8.2. What should I do? I have a 9.9 Kamfa. in a 280 liter tank. Kamfa is a manmade fish and has characters of a chiclid too.
