What's going on in my tank?

Guess that would be good for cuttingras and me, thanks ziggy!

 

Mandarin I use API Ca test too
doing the first bottle with 10 drops, shake, then..
if you are doing 20 drops of the second bottle to get it to turn blue, then the chart says you Ca is at 400mg/l which is pretty darned good...

 

thanks Ziggy, but I'm trying to go the homemade route, I now have to buy, yet another, pH test, I used the last of what I had tonight

 

cuttingras, do you want the whole test tube to turn blue or just the drop of test solution 2 when it hits what's already in the tube because I was under the impression you watch for the drop to turn blue and that only takes one drop for me so 20 ppm or less, but knowing me I'm probably doing it wrong.

 

the whole tube you are supposed to shake after each drop I shake after every five up to the 15 drop mark then I shake after each one.

 

try using expecto patronum lol

 

Wow my calc must be off the charts then because I think I went up to 20 or 22 drops once and it was still that pinkish purple color. Thanks cuttingras! Well I'll have to test it again later. Hope you have good luck with a pH buffer. Hopefully raising your salinity will help a lot.

 

what's that ziggy? am I gonna have to look that up?

 

:yelrotflm:laughing0:laughing0

what is expecto patronum?!!! Oh dear 'gras someone's not up to par on their Harry Potter knowledge!LOL

 

do you have the chart that comes with it? if it's 20 drops then you ca is 400mg/l I'll post a copy of the chart if you need it or send it over pm
