Good time to all. Due to the fact that the test kit for salifert with three reagents has ended, I purchased a test kit with two reagents. I checked it on the reference liquid from FM - it showed ideally ~ 420. I began to check the water from my aquarium, the first - when adding 0.6 ml, the color does not change from blue, only a purple tint appears, the transition to pink begins only when another 0.1 ml is added (0.7 in total) after titration calcium is obtained ~ 480.
Taking back the test of three reagents, I measured the reference liquid FM and got ~420 again, measured the water from the aquarium and it was also ~420. What to do? how to understand the correct calcium? to throw out salifert to buy red sea, NYOS?
Are there representatives of salifert on the forum?
also prepare a new salt solution Red SEA (not pro) for substitution, I checked the new test and the color transition was at 0.6, but it showed ~480 calcium.
