This requires routine water testing to make sure that conditions are correct for the fish being kept. API 5 in 1 Aquarium Test Strips are the quick and easy way to test 5 of the most important measures of aquarium water quality: General Hardness (GH), Carbonate Hardness (KH), pH, Nitrite (NO2-) and Nitrate (NO3-). These 5 parameters should be tested weekly, since natural materials in the aquarium,such as fish waste and decaying food, as well as water changes and evaporation can causethese levels to shift over time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTesting Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e1.
