There are test kits out that say they can be used on Freshwater and Salt water. That is the test kit you want. Also just a suggestion, the dip stick test kits are extremely wrong. You would want to get the liquid test kits.

The AP test kit will do you fine for now. THe tests included should be close enough on accuracy for the tests you will need to run.
