Test Kits
Why test the water?
The Aquatic Lab series kits are designed to measure the most important parameters.
During the various stages of growth and due to different conditions that can occur in the aquarium, the consumption of corals (in sea water) or plants (in fresh water) can change rapidly. Our guests need a stable environment and changes in values can cause growth to slow down or stop.
It is very important to keep the consumption of animals monitored in order to appropriately vary the additions that we will have to make, to avoid shortages or even more dangerous overabundances.
