NT Labs Marine Lab Calcium Test Kit, Marine Aquarium Water Testing Kit, Accurate Results (Contains up to 35 Tests)

【 MONITORS CALCIUM LEVELS IN MARINE AQUARIUMS】: Calcium is one of the critical building blocks for corals, clams, calcareous algae and many other marine organisms. After sodium and magnesium, calcium is the third-most abundant cation found in seawater and is vital for a balanced marine environment. Achieving the correct calcium concentration range is critical: too little can lead to poor coral health, while too much can result in depletion of carbonate hardness (KH). 【 EASY TO USE】: Use the 1 ml pipette to measure 1 ml of water to be tested into the titration vessel. Add 5 drops of Ca-1 reagent. Add 5 drops of Ca-2 reagent to turn the sample pink. Attach the titration tip to the 1 ml syringe. Draw up 1 ml of Ca-3 so that the bottom of the plunger is at the 1.0ml mark. Slowly dispense from the syringe into the titration vessel while swirling. Keep dispensing from the syringe. Slow down when the colour of the solution changes from pink to purple. Stop dispensing from the syringe when the solution is blue. Read the syringe, noting the value indicated by the bottom of the plunger. Look up this value on the chart to determine the calcium concentration. 【 HOW TO FIX CALCIUM ISSUES 】: The typical value of calcium found in seawater is 420 mg/l, but values in the aquarium vary from 380 mg/l to 450 mg/l, dependent on the method of running your aquarium. If the calcium level in your aquarium is wrong, partial water changes using a good quality reef salt is recommend to help re-establish the correct calcium concentration. It is also important to check the magnesium and KH as the three are correlated. If the calcium is incorrect, magnesium and KH are also likely to be wrong. 【 ACCURATE LIQUID DROP TESTS 】: All NT Labs water testing kits are liquid drop tests from a dropper bottle to ensure the drops are the same size. This method of testing is significantly more precise compared to using dip strips. The use of liquid reagents guarantees accurate and dependable results for each parameter, simplifying the process of monitoring and maintaining ideal water conditions in your aquarium. 【 SUITABLE FOR ALL AQUARISTS 】: The ease of use of NT Labs Test Kits means they are perfect for use by beginners and seasoned aquarists alike.
