perverseosmosis Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 After dealing with a particularly silly magnesium kit by AquaTest, I've decided to expunge anything in my regimen which requires me to count oodles of drops. I've found simple and quick versions of most of the tests I do through trial and error. However, I need a calcium test which is simple and fast to perform. No drop counting! Can anyone recommend a test? Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...fm?pcatid=12803 However, the titrimetric method should not be so bad. I'm not sure about other test kits, but the API calcium test is fairly easy if you just add the recommended 14 initial drops. Link to comment
Orphicdragon Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I hate oodles of drops as well, but the API calcium is the least offensive of the drop type. I do as lakshwa mention and do teh 14 initial drops. But I am also far to cheap to blow 200+ on a calcium tester Link to comment

I supposed I could salvage one from an old kit and work out how many drops are in a ml. Thanks for the advice! Link to comment
Orphicdragon Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I think the salifert uses a syringe http://www.thereeftank.com/compare-test-ki...st-kit/reviews/ Link to comment
