I have a tank of two goldfish and one aquatic frog. I have well water and Live near a Cement factory that puts out mercury. Before I go and get store bought water I was wondering if there is a test strip that would test mercury. Thanks in advance.
 
I've not seen mercury test kits in any of my catalogs. My guess is you would need to send a sample of your water to a local testing facility. Seems like someone on well water would have their water tested annually anyways for lead, mercury, but especially nitrates and phosphate from farming run-off.
 
Thanks for checking your catalogs. I haven't tested the well because we just moved out of city limits. I was wondering if it was testable in all the strips they have in the store. I guess it will be off to a testing place. If someone would find something to test it I am still interested- but it does look like I am out of luck. Thanks again
