ah, hello, new to all this, at first boring, but moreso becoming fascinating, (and, yes, expen$ive). Either way, 1 thank you for the information and making it truely for "dummies" like me.
second, I have a question:
I see i can buy a test kit on line rather cheap... (see below):
Freshwater Master Test Kit is a complete kit for testing tap water & aquarium water.Tests water 6 different ways to protect tropical fish from dangerous water conditions.Tests include freshwater pH, ammonia, nitrite, high range pH, GH & KH, 4 test tubes, tray.
However, i do not see where it tests for nitrAtes- see I DID learn something... is the API Freshwater master test kit incomplete and I need to purchase NitrAte (N03 ? ) test kit seperately?
lemme know someone pls.
thanks, and great site... much better than the OTHER one I checked out.
