very good thanks for taking the time, now i might go to red sea test kit as i had had some false tests with api alk test kit it always said 7 which I couldnt work out why but then my salferit test kit says 9.3 which makes more sense as i was dosing alk and i kept raising the dosing of alk luckily i caught it when i did
La verdad gracias por este video por q yo uso red see test y estaba usándolo incorrectamente y tu dudas y para salir de estas dudas estuve averiguando y mire tu video y la verdad me ayudó mucho gracias y q tu acuario este cada día mejor
Thank you for showing what the level should be in the syringe. Red Sea should have done that with their video as it's a very important factor! Thanks for the great information!!!
Nice man,way better than that guy from red sea! My kit came with the red tip being cracked. Redsea never answered my emails about replacing the tip, finally BRS sent me one for free. Nice video!
it is quite clear on the instruction card that you have to turn the solution blue to establish the start point and then finish at the point of the colour change to red, why do you ignore this and go from clear straight through to red, the result cannot be accurate - am i missing something?
Not inaccurate to my knowledge. I'm not concerned with the starting point as much as I with the ending point. This is how I've used Red Sea for past 6 years, no issues with my numbers. Wish I could be of better help.
Your level of Mg seems quite high compared to the usual target value of 1300 mg/l. I was wondering if this is not the Mg+Ca value as with the JBL test for example on which you need to subtract the Ca value to find the Mg? Can somebody confirm this? Thanks.
crispers702 Sorry for late response, I was on vacation with limited internet. Although maybe not as crucial as having hard corals, I'd still buy a kit to test the water.
Hi reefergil we miss you videos man hey can you toll me how you read the test kit is easy to use but I don't Khow how to read lol Red Sea I'm kinda new how you can tell in ml final you count the ml but is hard for me

Jeff Cundiff Thanks you very much!

Very helpful video.
this was very helpful
Awesome, thank you for your post.
Dang you beat me to the punch on the red sea testing vid LOL... I like the test kit but the ALK test is a pain in the but to read.. Good video!!
good test kit there dude
I will say that API do make a good accurate ph test and the no2 no3 tests are good and simple.
I agree. They are faster too. Red Sea is just a bit more precise if that's important to the hobbiest. Otherwise, API is the way to go.
Gil, Hope you can help. When I do the Calcium test I dump the level deal of powder in and mine turns blue????
it is quite clear on the instruction card that you have to turn the solution blue to establish the start point and then finish at the point of the colour change to red, why do you ignore this and go from clear straight through to red, the result cannot be accurate - am i missing something?

Good vid, I just bought the vegas as well but im having trouble with programming the lights with the timers for the day and moonlighting any pointers?
Your level of Mg seems quite high compared to the usual target value of 1300 mg/l.
I was wondering if this is not the Mg+Ca value as with the JBL test for example on which you need to subtract the Ca value to find the Mg?
Can somebody confirm this?
Thanks.
Great video i have a question
Do i need a test kit if i only have a couple lps and softies?
crispers702 Sorry for late response, I was on vacation with limited internet. Although maybe not as crucial as having hard corals, I'd still buy a kit to test the water.
This is a good demonstration, thank you. What is the price of a kit?
Thanks Chris. I picked it up on Bulk Reef Supply.
Hi reefergil we miss you videos man hey can you toll me how you read the test kit is easy to use but I don't Khow how to read lol Red Sea I'm kinda new how you can tell in ml final you count the ml but is hard for me
+Rafael Vega Hey Rafael, it's not too tricky but it would take a whole lot of writing to explain it in text. :(
Hi Danny, are you still using the Red Sea test kits? My Salifert's are almost done.
I am. One of the best testers out there. Im only test once a month now since numbers are consistent.
***** Thanks a bunch. Have a great weekend,
You too buddy!
Is it just me or is the alkalinity hard as shit to read?
my powder clumps up all the time
Jeff Cundiff I've seen that some lot numbers can be bad from time to time.
Best video on how to do this tests. I finally got it !!!!
Keep reefing 🪸 🐟
