[@richmansreef]

You will never watch a better Salifert tesk kit video than this. Undisputed

[@reefrookies]

Thanks bro!

[@jonclark8155]

I work at a wastewater treatment plant and we test every day. You can flick your test vile to achieve your proper meniscus. Good video Logan

[@reefrookies]

Thanks!!

Got you fam!

[@markforman8552]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!

[@reefrookies]

Glad you think so! Means I did it right! :D

I use the Hanna checkers for the phosphate and nitrates test but use salifert for the magnesium and alkalinity

[@reefrookies]

Nice!

[@aymanmorsy19]

Great , above and beyond video , thank you so much brother

[@reefrookies]

Glad you liked it! Hope it helps!

[@casima]

Excellent information, thanks!

[@reefrookies]

You bet! Thanks for watching

[@CynthiaB.-rn9il]

Excellent tutorial on how to perform these tests with awesome detail. Getting drops out of a bottle, I would have never thought about that! Thank you ❣️

[@reefrookies]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

When I bought the magnum kit, it came 2 liquids, not a powder. But thanks for helping with that bubble trouble. Madiscus

[@reefrookies]

Glad I could help!

[@stephenbassett1610]

Very informative, especially the No3 nitrate test, I've been doing it wrong and always getting high results compared to the API test kit. Thanks

[@reefrookies]

Glad it was helpful! That was the goal! Better tests mean better tanks!!

[@richardsonbrandon08]

Would it be possible to show the colors of the completed test a little longer. I have a little trouble seeing the blue. Or maybe make a color card of where the colors should be so we can compare colors? I would buy one of those cards. But love the information on this as well.

[@reefrookies]

Hmmm. Ill give that some thought. Thanks for watching!

[@Simple_Reef]

If the KH is 14° ..do the corals have a problem? and why?

[@reefrookies]

Yes alkalinity at 14kdh is too high. It can result in brittle coral skeletons due to overly fast growth.

Excellent job at demonstrating the Salifert test kits. I've never created the air bubble and used the meniscus. Not sure I've ever seen anyone do it this way but I'm going to try it. Makes total sense for a more accurate measurement. Out of curiosity, do you test your ammonia and Nitrite on a regular basis, after the cycle, or was it for demonstration purpose?

[@reefrookies]

I did them for the instruction. I have tested them post cycle before if something looks off but generally I dont. :)
