Not really. Maybe parts of it like the Ph part. Never had a freshwater tank so I wouldn't know too much whats in their kit.

There are certain test kits that can be used for both fresh and salt water ie., most KH test can be used for both.Just check to make sure that it specifically states on the box or bottle.
