The Tetra Test 7in1 test strips allow you to check the water quality in your aquarium quickly, easily, and reliably. The Test strips measure the seven most important water parameters: pH value, carbonate hardness (KH), total hardness (GH), nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), chlorine (Cl2), and now also CO2-content.

The Tetra Test 7in1 test strips allow you to check the water quality in your aquarium quickly, easily, and reliably. The test strips measure the seven most important water parameters: pH value, carbonate hardness (KH), total hardness (GH), nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), chlorine (Cl2), and now also CO2 content. By combining the pH and KH values, the CO2 content can be easily read using the enclosed CO2 table. This gives aquarists a comprehensive overview of all relevant water values and allows them to react to imbalances at an early stage.
Tetra Test 7in1
- 7 parameters in just one test: pH, KH, GH, NO2, NO3, Cl2, and CO2

- quick and easy to use - test results in just 60 seconds
- ideal for beginners and experienced aquarists
- early detection of problems such as algae growth, oxygen deficiency, or pollutants
- helpful CO2 table for quick interpretation of values
- recommended values and corrective measures directly on the packaging
- pack of 50 test strips
Why CO2 is important: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important nutrient for aquarium plants and contributes significantly to the stability of the biological balance. Too low a CO2 content leads to poor plant growth and rising pH values, while too high a CO2 value can be dangerous for fish. The Tetra Test 7in1 helps to identify and maintain the ideal balance.
Suitable water values:
pH value: 6.5-8.5
KH: 3-10 °dH
GH: 6-16 °dH
NO2: < 0.3 mg/l
NO3: < 50 mg/l
Cl2: 0 mg/l
CO2: 5-15 mg/l - 7 parameters in just one test: pH, KH, GH, NO2, NO3, Cl2, and CO2

Which water parameters can be measured with Tetra Test 7in1?
The strips measure seven key values: pH, carbonate hardness (KH), general hardness (GH), nitrite (NO2), nitrate (NO3), chlorine (Cl2), and CO2 - for a comprehensive overview of your aquariums water quality.How does the CO2 measurement work?
The CO2 level is calculated from the pH and KH values. Using the included CO2 chart, you can easily determine whether your CO? concentration is within the ideal range.How often should I test the water?
At least every few weeks, or whenever you notice issues such as algae growth, fish illness, or cloudy water. Regular testing helps detect and prevent problems early.What happens if the CO2 level is too low or too high?
Too little CO2 leads to poor plant growth and rising pH levels, while too much can be dangerous for fish. The ideal CO2 concentration is between 5 and 15 mg/l.- To increase CO2: Tetra CO2 Plus or Tetra CO2 Optimat- To reduce CO2: Tetra APS Air Pump or Tetra AirSilent- To adjust KH/pH: Tetra pH/KH Plus or Minus- To reduce NO2/NO3: Tetra AquaSafe, EasyBalance, or NitrateMinusHow can I adjust the values if they are out of range?
Depending on the result, Tetra recommends:How long do the test strips last?
When stored cool and dry, they remain accurate until the expiry date printed on the package. Always close the container tightly after each use.
