Not for anything, but I just tested my 55 Gal in my son's room...with.....Drum Roll Please....
The new API Master Test Kit I just got the other day.
pH Fine.
Ammo - 0
Nitrite - .25 ppm...ok...we'll deal.
Nitrate - Followed the Instructions to a T. I didn't make the common mistake of not shaking the Bottle #2 before actually adding it to the test tube. Shook the tube 1 Minute, set it down, waited 5 mins, picked it up, grabbed the card, and.....
Uhh...Ummm...Let's try over here where there's more light...no...how about the bathroom...yea, MUCH more light in here...Humph...
I have 20/20 vision. I can read a car license plate from about 50 feet away. I can see all the colors you can possibly dream of. Meaning, My eyes are fine.
Can anyone tell the difference between 40 / 80 on that Card? There is the SLIGHTEST difference between the 2, I can see that...but to compare them to the tube? Forget it.
I'm changing the water anyway, but I used to do changes at 60 ppm...now I guess if it's 40...it might as well be 80, so where's that siphon hose???
