Those look like the old directions I just want to make sure its 4 drops instead of 6 ?

I had old directions and new but I guess I accidently tossed out the new ones.

I have the box that is maroon not green if that helps....

LOL

well I have been neglecting my tank .... surprisingly the sps I do have have not died. I haven't checked my parms forever ( months ) while using the sea chem reef salt. I would just do WC.

I will see where the Mg is once I go to lunch. I bet its low cause that sea chem salt really sucks. I tested my CA and alk yesterday

CA 390-400
alk 6.4
Ph. 7.9
nitrates 0
Mg ?

I just adde my kalk dripper so far so good

ijust got the new 4 drop kit and i am wondering if my kit may be bad. i never got a color change. i will test it with tap water and maybe some pond water.

i did test it with three of my tanks and repeatedly never got a color change.

i have used the old one in the past.

I tested yesterday I got no color change either, from my experience it means your mg is over 1500. Last time I tested my mg was 1300 and the time before that 1100.

Richard use that tester now ! How does that work ?

interesting. i will test other sources tomorrow.

last time i tested it was low but that was about two months ago and Salifert tests kits have not been available anywhere until now.

i have been adding the Holmes Farley three part solution for dosing. i could have added it too frequently but on one tank i tested i haven't added anything. it is my LR holding tank.

hmmm...

upon Richard's recomendation i got the Hanna c200 also but no Mg tests. something else to buy now i guess.

Carl
