API Test kit mix up!

[FlyTekk]

I mixed up my Freshwater API test kit with with my saltwater. I dont have either lid or manual. None of the bottles specify wether they are for fresh or saltwater. Anyone know how i can tell the difference?

They are all the same except for pH (so i read some where).

Im using a freshwater API kit to test the cycling of my new reef tank currently.

You should be good.

Well, the pamphlet that comes with the test kit only says that the nitrite test is for fresh or saltwater. So that should mean the others are just for saltwater.

ammonia, nitrate and nitrite are the same... so would not worry about those.
ph you probably want the high range one and not sure what else came with.
