FAQ: How do I properly clean the test tube?

Always rinse the test tube with water right after testing so leftover reagents don't stick and stain. Open the cap carefully without twisting, let water flow in, swirl, then pour out. Avoid getting any solution on your skin. If you accidentally leave reagent sitting and it stains the tube, use a small bottle brush with API Safe & Easy cleaning spray. Never use soap - residue could harm your fish on the next test. Need more tubes? They're easy to find online.

FAQ: How should I shake the test tube during testing?

Shake the reagent bottle vigorously to mix well, but handle the test tube more gently. Make sure the cap is tightly closed and secured with your finger or thumb, then invert the tube back and forth every 1-2 seconds for the recommended time. This mixes it fully without risking spills.
