So. I got my quarantine gear before I found this forum. I got Copper Power, which as far as I can tell is fine. But went with the API copper test kit at the LFS.
Per bottle dose is supposed to be 2.5ppm and 1fl.oz in 20 gallons hits this. I have 9 gallons water in a 10 gallon tank. So work out I need just over 13 ml.
Add half yesterday. Add second half today. Pop open the test kit the first time and see it has fine tuned graduations that stop right before the ******* therapeutic dose. Why??? The final two color circles are “not enough” and “he’s pining for the fjords”.
Anyway… guess I’m gonna get the Hanna checker. Gotta learn the lesson to buy once cry once.
