Message: [QUOTE="Mmathis, post: 315173, member: 3238"] Most of us use the API Master Freshwater kit. It contains 2 types of pH tests (regular and high-range), ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. For a newly set up pond, you need to check it probably at least once a week. It's going to take weeks for the pond to cycle. Mainly, at this point, you want to see ammonia, etc., but you don't want the levels too high or you'll harm the fish. If levels do go up, don't add any chemicals to the water, but instead do a partial water change. [/QUOTE]
