The strips measure ammonia in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, so the same box covers a community tank, a goldfish setup or a marine system. When you start a new aquarium, the directions call for testing several times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAPI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTest count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 tests\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter tested\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmmonia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreshwater and saltwater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich aquariums these ammonia test strips suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box is intended for both fresh water and salt water, so a single set of strips works across tanks of either type.
