cmanning Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, since the D&D Merck kit for phosphates is SO hard to come by, and expensive too, *and* since I'm **** near red/green colorblind anyway, I decided to go for broke and try this colorimeter out. (doesn't cost much more than the D&D Merck kit anyway). Ordered an extra 100 test refills to boot, so when it gets here, I will test water for some of you who are curious to see your phosphate levels who can't or don't have a good kit yet, (or even if it's good, just hard to read like all the ones I've ever seen are). This thing is digital, and uses a reagent, and a sure-fire colorimeter to read out the phosphate level digitally. I will post pics, etc as soon as it arrives. I checked out bmwaaron's thread on RC about this kit, and he seems happy with his, so we'll see how well it works. Will be looking for some volunteers with *nasty* tanks to test your water phosphate levels just to get a good feel for this kits capabilities, and see how well it can perform. --Robert and Cindy.

Rjohn Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'd love to have my phosphates checked. Now can you do something equally magical with magnesium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm game too. I hate the color kits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princer7 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would be more than happy to give a water sample. I have never checked mine but do run phosphate media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
