Seachem MultiTest Marine Basic

This kit combines the Marine pH & Alkalinity, Ammonia, and Nitrite & Nitrate kits into one kit. Seachem MultiTest Marine Basic performs over 75 tests and contains reference samples for validation.

 

The Marine pH & Alkalinity test features a unique dye that has a pronounced color change between 8.0 and 8.3, making it the easiest kit on the market to read in that critical range. It is suitable for marine or brackish water only. Alkalinity may be read from the same sample in 0.5 meq/Ltr increments.

 

The ammonia test measures total (NH3 and NH4+) and free ammonia (NH3 only) down to less than 0.05 mg/Ltr and is virtually interference free in marine and freshwater. Free ammonia is the toxic form of ammonia and thus it is much more important to keep an eye on the level of free ammonia in your system. This test may be used with freshwater or marine water.

 

The Nitrite / Nitrate test measures nitrite to less than 0.1 mg/Ltr and nitrate to less than 0.2 mg/Ltr in marine or freshwater. The values reported are expressed as nitrite and nitrate rather than nitrogen (to convert to nitrogen, simply divide by 3.3 and 4.4, respectively).

 

Color Chart

The Seachem MultiTest Ammonia test kit comes with an easy-to-read color chart. It features a 5 cm viewing window to help isolate color and match as closely as possible to the test sample.

 

Opaque Multi-Cavity Test Plate

The Seachem MultiTest test kit is read from an opaque white test plate. The sliding color chart along with the six-cavity test plate allows for easy reading and comparisons of several samples at the same time.
