Frozen Salifert test kit

[425nm]

I came home today to package full of aquarium equipment I had ordered (hooray!). This package happened to be sitting on my porch in -15C and the reagents for my Salifert test kit have frozen solid.

It would appear that contact information for Salifert is somewhat scarce. Does anyone know if this will effect the efficacy of the test?

Which kit?

It won't hurt an alkalinity kit.

 

[425nm]

It is an alk kit yes. Thanks! Given that this might happen again are there kits where it would cause damage?

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I'm not really sure of any that wouldn't work after freezing, but an alk kit is especially simple.

frozen products!

Hello,

Was wondering if Korallen-Zucht products could be damaged by getting frozen during shipping? All items below where frozen solid:

Korallen-Zucht ZeoStart
Korallen-Zucht ZeoFood 7
Korallen-Zucht ZeoBak
Korallen-Zucht Zeovit Pohls xtra


as well as Salifert Magnesium test kit.

Thank you, Ryan

I don't know what is in most of those to know what freezing might do, but I expect most things are ok once redissolved. The magnesium kit should be fine

Thank you for the reassurance.

You're welcome.

Happy Reefing!
