Will any of the fresh water test kits work for salt water?
I have some Aquarium Pharmaceuticals master test kits for my fresh water tanks and a few Gh/Kh tests. Just wondering if they can work with salt water - namely the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and Gh/Kh tests.

Actually I have both kits from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals for my saltwater tank and my freshwater tanks. The contents are the same. The only difference that I can see is there are different color charts for the tests that you do. The colors are different when I test saltwater or if I test freshwater. Hope this helps.

It should say on the box. I know tetra makes a ph test kit and some others that work for both freshwater and saltwater. Not sure how accurate they are though.

the FW Aquarium Pharmaceuticals will work with SW. however the color sample will get real cloudy, and hard to read. to top that off they are not real accurate to start.
