Water testing salt water?

[fishn10s]

I am in the process of treating my tank for ich and have added salt in the reccommended dose of 2 tsp per gal of water. My question is when testing the tank for the ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and ph, does the consentration of salt in the water affect the testing results? I ask this question as I did have a salt water reef tank before and they sell a testing kit for salt water and one for fresh water.

Thanks in advance for any input

The variations wil be minimal at best. Slat water is denser and therfore the tests are calibrated differently, with the tests you mentioned there should not be a problem with the added salt. Additionally you aren't adding much salt, so there isn't much change in density anyhow.

When I raised my temp 89F and added salt, as much as 1 tablespoon/gal, my water chemistry stayed the same for ten days.
