Master test kit....

[JustSpongeIt]

I just got a Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, INC. fresh water master test kit from a friend; but he forgot to put in the instructions of the tests. Do any of you guy/gals have this test kit and could tell me what the instructions say? That would really help me out.

I take it that you have the colour cards to read off the results.
Very simple to use: 5ml of water, add tablets in correct order(marked 1, 2, etc.) ensure tablets are fully disolved before adding second, read off results after 5 minutes, try not to disturb sediment as this will cloud water and give false reading. 8)

Cant remember the nitrate but will check. Thats all the Aquarium Pharm. test I have. The is Hagen.
