I been testing my tank, and just looked.... it's the saltwater master test kit... I thought I got the freshwater master test kit.

It tests for all the same things, do I need to get the freshwater one or can I use this one?

Sounds like an excuse to set up a saltwater tank to me. ;)

This is my very first fish tank.... I have to make sure to cycle it, and add fish. to make sure I dont kill off any of em before I can get another tank.

Some of them are probably salt and freshwater, for example my api ammonia test is fresh and saltwater. It says somewhere...I just can't remember where.....

I would go back to the store where you purchased it from and attempt to EXCHANGE it for a fw test kit. Keyword, exchange; most stores accept exchanges.

If not, I guess your only option is to buy another test kit, freshwater this time.
