  Red Sea Ammonia Test Kit

  Ammonia is mainly a concern during the initial tank cycling process or when a fish death is suspected. This kit uses three reagents added in sequence followed by a 15-minute wait before comparing the sample color against a chart. It is inexpensive and accurate enough for routine reef tank ammonia checks.

  Red Sea pH Test Kit

  This simple test kit adds a few drops of reagent to a water sample and immediately shows a color to compare against a chart. It always seemed to read 8.2 regardless of actual conditions, so it was eventually replaced by a PinPoint digital pH probe for more reliable monitoring. The procedure is essentially identical to the Red Sea Alkalinity test.
