[glamisr2]

1 ml tank water.
1 scoop of Part 1.
1 scoop of Part 2.
(I never use the liquid drops)

Gently shake 30 seconds. Wait exactly 3 minutes. Compared the color of your vial to the color chart.

The vial need to be put on the card, so you look down through the liquid when you compare colors, and it is best to be near natural daylight when you do.

Liquid drops? I don't have that in my test kit. Am I missing something that should have been in the box?

[mhurley]

koj11, no...there was a somewhat recent change to the kit. Some of us still have kits that had liquid (that you no longer need to use), some of you have yours. All the same.

Hold up Marc.....

I was researching this recently and found this thread from Habib...

He said that if you skip the drops, that you should look sideways for the color comparison (for the low range), then divide by 10...
