Notes from Aqua Gardening

  • Before performing the tests, ensure that the test tubes and caps are clean and free of contaminants to avoid skewed test results.
  • For increased accuracy, wait the recommended time from feeding before taking water samples to test, as this can temporarily alter water parameters.
  • Do not use expired test solutions. Expired solutions may not provide accurate results and may adversely impact your aquatic system.
