Richard L Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I saw this video the other day on Dr. Tim's and thought it was good information. Crazy how a test kit can read a false "0" when the actual result if literally off the charts! Reminds me of a quote from on of my daughter's cartoons - "Captain the radiation levels are off the charts!... ....Then buy some bigger charts and take it out of petty cash!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bige Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 That makes so much sense. That's why people say they have bad algae but everything shows 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That's a very good video showing some of the issues with testing. Here's a link to a good article by James Fatheree and Dr. David Flanigan looking at averge aquarists testing. Towards the end they run the tests themselves and discuss why two diffent people get different results with the same test kit.
