With rinsing and whatnot, how much waste is produced for a single test. Say a single Red Sea Alk test?
Also, how much tank water would this single test use? Is it just the 10ml required by Red Sea, or is there some tube flushing that is happening as well?
The tank water line (about 4 feet long) is fully emptied to draw in a fresh sample, the syringe is flushed w RODI 2x both before and after the test, and the testing chamber is rinsed with RODI (2x I believe) both before and after the test as well. If I had to guess, I'd say the all-in waste produced is about 1.25 cups/test.
