What other test so i need..i have a soil substrate capped with sand will be adding different size aggregate in areas..have a few plants..some from my lake and some baby tear and shamrock.. No fish for a bit not even close to cycled yet.. Thank you for not being too long winded and straight to the point.. I bought the api test kit because of you... Your vids are awesome
Thank you, the only other test kits I would reccomend is the API hardness test hit which will test for GH and KH, after that if you want a phosphate test kit you could do that to but it's not as necessary.
I just find API test kit very time consuming. I use Tetra 5-in-1 or Tetra 6-in-1 and separate Ammonia test strips which I cut lengthwise to get two strips out of one. Easy, fast and reliable so far. Get all the parameter results in just a minute.
When you're first setting up an aquarium you want to test it every couple days to keep track of your ammonia and nitrite and nitrates, after the tank is cycled you're really only going to test nitrate once a week or until you know how quickly your nitrates build up after that you can test basically whenever you want to monitor nitrate levels
@@TrafishAquatics not that anyone should recommend using anything after it's expired but it still works and I'll still use it to it doesn't. Too expensive not to.
I like how this guy teaches, all the videos I have seen from him are very helpful and educational. Thanks!
Thanks! Appreciate it!

I usually don't use the high ph test if the regular test is less than 7.6....
my test was exactly the same as yours.. Do you think the Rummy Nose could be live in this water ph 7.2 ?
Absoloutly, I keep mine at 7.6.
@@TrafishAquatics ok .. I will be doing too.
Those test strips go bad and the kit still works after expired. My kit expired in 2017. Still works great.
Good to know
