Borrow Test Kit - ammonia, nitrite & need sand

milou · #1 12-22-2011, 11:52 PM

Hi I'm starting a 60 gal tank. I wonder if anyone can lent their unused test kit (ammonia & nitrite) and I'll return it when I'm done. In return, I can offer some live rock or future frags or corals. Or if you want to sell them outright just name me the price. I also need sand, my tank is about 2ft x 2ft x 2ft. Thank you for your help. Mike 778 990 8192

Just take a sample to a fish store and they'll test it for free

I probably have some test kits for you to use.

If you dont feel like going to JL to have them test the water, u are welcome to swing by and use my API kit, can't really lend it out as I still use it to check my chemistry

LOL

Honestly, if you are just starting a new tank, investing in a nitrate and amonia test kit would be a good idea. You can get cheap ones for 6-10 dollas a piece.

I checked at the store and it's 44 bucks. I could allocate that to a calcium reactor. A friend just gave me a new PFO reflector for my 250 halide. I'm trying to assemble this tank as cheap as possible. My project this week is to build the stand.
