Yoooo the fact that you cut the sound when you said “hey google” is so wonderful. I have an amazon echo and I wish people would stop saying “aLeXa” during their videos 😂

I don’t usually comment on a lot of videos but I just had to say thank you for this video. It was very informative. Keep up the good work!

I’ve never bothered commenting on a video ever. But I had to take the time to say thank you. I’ve kept fish for over 30 years. I’ve never tested water, not once. I’ve had a brake having moved house but now 7 years later the house is complete and I’m setting up a tank. I just thought it would be a good thing to do with my son. Being dyslexic when I started as a kid I didn’t read much. I always chatted to shop owners and picked brains. I need to hear it not read it. You young man covey your self very well I get it all and my new fish keeping habits will be referring to this very video a lot. Great job.

Thank you for this video! I'm cycling a new aquarium, I'm new to the hobby, I have my API Freshwater Master Test Kit, but you made this kit so much more comprehensible and not so intimidating! Exactly what I hoped for. :)

Thanks for showing us on how to use it because I become cautious when I first read the warnings at the back of each bottles. How do we dispose the solutions after?

[Jules_Angel]

Also Ammonia & Nitrate tests recommend protecting your hands from coming in contact with the chemicals. Luckily I already have latex gloves on hand; I'll be using these as an extra precaution.

I'm one and a half years late in seeing your video but I loved it! API should hire you or at least pay you substantially for your instructional video. I am a nubie to aquarium life and bought this testing kit, watched their video and was clueless about how to use it until I saw your video, it, as my water should be, is so clearer now. Thanks man!

Love how you said "if you don't like this vid go ahead and dislike, I'm okay with that too" that shows me you are confident u know what yiur talking about. Mad respect fish dr.

I have watched several other videos on how to use the API Freshwater Master Test kit and this video is the only one that follows the directions *exactly*. Other videos had some interesting information on the cycling process however most didn't 'shake vigorously' for the correct amount of time (or at all). One video continue with the comparison chart reading without waiting 5 minutes (on the tests that required it).

First time testing new tank. Thank you for the invaluable information.

[petereg]

really good tip at the end about the tap water

[volkancevik]

Thanks for the video. Got myself a kit and found the instructions in the booklet a little bit confusing, but your video made it very clear. Really appreciate it

[stuartrobinson]

Great video, explained brilliantly and very comprehensive. Thank you.

[SexyDjBottomsUpRadio]

thank you for this video learned a lot from you im just learning this stuff .

[SubparPanda]

Here's a tip for anyone using this, its not mentioned anywhere in the instructions but a good habit shown in this vid, I fully believe you NEED to shake the ammonia bottles. I get ammonia readings of anywhere from .25-1ppm until I got into the habit of shaking them bottles. Now my cycled tanks show 0 as they should.

Thanks for this informative video! I'm a first time fish owner. I just got a 5.5 gal tank for my new beta fish and I feel a little overwhelmed!😱😂 I ordered a maser test kit and this video was very helpful! 😄👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[zacmcintyre]

I always use the test strips. After seeing this I will have to try out the liquid kits, I believe I saw that exact one at a walmart even. Thanks for the price matching info, if you are careless this hobby can be very expensive! :)
