Triton test vs Salifert Calibrated whit FM Multi Reference

[Broly_PT]

hello, good friends

Who has done the test triton and happened to you the results differ by more than 100 ppm Salifert tests calibrated Multi refrence FM?

For example :

Triton MG 1475, 1300 Salifert

Triton k+ 220 and salifert 320

And now ? lol

Its a big diference and i dont know what to do....

I know this thread is old (maybe a bump will get more action), but these are my results (Aug 2016):

Triton Mg 1424 ppm
Salifert Mg 1290 ppm (not calibrated)
Red Sea Pro Mg 1410 ppm (not calibrated)

I have similar results as you. Interestingly, the Red Sea Pro tested very similar to Triton. I know some people have trouble performing the Red Sea Pro Mg test, though I've found the results very reproducible.

I will be doing another Triton test soon here, and I will report back with more results.

I had purchased RedSea Pro test kits on advice from an online aq supplies vendor. Each kit differed by 100 or more. I threw them in the trash. I spoke to an online coral vendor who heard good things about Elos test kits. The first Triton test measured the same as my results. The second Triton test was off by 7, maybe I didn't mix for 30 sec. but I can live with the difference.

October Triton 1293 Salifert 1305
December Triton 1148 Salifert 1260
March Triton 1293 Salifert 1305

Most recent ICP was thru ICP-analysis.com and they gave me 1253ppm Salifert 1320.
I'll have my Triton results back soon for the same sample soon hopefully.

I'd split the difference and conclude both values are fine anyway. :)
