Salifert

rusted by discerning reefers for years, Salifert Test Kits feature some of the easiest to read results available. Their test kits include easy to follow instructions and straightforward, accurate results. Salifert test kits are also some of the most economical; the Salifert Calcium Test Kit will typically deliver upwards of 50 tests per kit. Note: Calcium Test kit is rated for 50-100 tests. The actual number of tests a kit will deliver varies based on calcium levels and the amount of reagent required to reach the endpoint of the test, but we have typically gotten about 50 tests with common reef tank calcium levels.

If the pH is too low then the cause may be a too low alkalinity and/or insufficient aeration. A low pH can be corrected by improving aeration and by increasing the alkalinity to NSW (Natural seawater) value or upto approx 25% above NSW levels. The Salifert pH test kit is sufficiently accurate to monitor pH fluctuations of approx 0.2 pH units. Our KH + pH Buffer allows fast and efficient correction of alkalinity. Approx. 50 tests per kit. Range pH 7.4 - 8.6. The pH value can have a major impact on the growth of corals and calcareous algae and on many biological processes. The pH should not be allowed to fluctuate more than approx. 0.3 units during 24 hours and should preferably be kept between 8.0 and 8.2.

Having a reliable and easy to use potassium test kit is hard to come by. Salifert test kits have been trusted by discerning reefers for years for their ease of use and reliability. Many other test kits are hard to use and consume your valuable time. The average test using this kit should easily take under 5 minutes and give you a reading that can be repeated time and time again. Contains up to 40 potassium tests.   If you are dosing potassium, the ability to monitor and measure how much you are adding is invaluable. Potassium levels in natural seawater is normally around 400 ppm. Many reefers will report loss of coloration in corals when potassium level start to drop below 360 ppm.    Instructions Notes: Before commencing with each test, it is very important to clean the nozzle (including the tip) of the K-3 dropper bottle with a paper tissue. Even if the nozzle looks clean and dry. Do this by applying a slight pressure on the tissue while cleaning. Do NOT put the cap back on the K-3 bottle until the test has been completed. An extra testing vial is included with the kit for convenience and only a one vial is needed for a single test. That lets you to use one vial while the other is being cleaned. With potassium test kits it is important to keep reagent tips, syringes and testing vials clean for reliable readings. Holding the reagent bottle directly vertical will allow for even and consistent drops making readings reliable and repeatable.   Steps With the unlabeled syringe add 1mL of aquarium water to the test vial. There will be a small air bubble (approx. 0.05 mL) in the syringe do NOT attempt to remove the air bubble. Add 0.5 mL of K-1 using the red labeled syringe in the test vial. There will be a small air bubble (approx. 0.05 mL) in the syringe do NOT attempt to remove the air bubble. Swirl the test vial gently for at least 20 seconds. Add to the test vial 3 drops of K-2 while holding the dropper bottle in a vertical position. There is no need to swirl the test vial after this step. Add to the test vial K-3 one drop at a time, while holding the dropper bottle in a vertical position. Swirl the test vial for 2 seconds in between each drop of reagent. Continue adding K-3 while counting drops and swirling between each until the color changes from a white or yellowish color to a baby blue / light blue color. The change is very dramatic. After color change is complete compare number of drops to ppm potassium chart below.   Drops of K-3 ppm of Potassium 1 > 470 2 > 470 3 > 470 4 460 5 450 6 440 7 430 8 420 9 410 10 400 11 390 12 380 13 370 14 360 15 350 16 340 17 330 18 320 19 310 20 300   What's Included? Instructions 20ml K-1 Liquid Reagent 10ml K-2 Liquid Reagent 10ml K-3 Liquid Reagent 2x 1mL Syringe 2x Testing Vials
