Glad i watched this. The instructions included with the kit say to gently shake after part B then wait for 60 sec. The card looked like you shake for 60 sec so it looks like the card agrees with the video.
Why am I always getting the Mg reading as 1600+. Even with newly mixed aquaforest reef salt? And even 2 weeks old tank water also gives 1600+. Pls note that I thoroughly followed your steps on This video.
It could be a lot of things, in order to better understand what you got, please open a support ticket here: g1.redseafish.com/support/tech-support-inquiry-2021/ We'll be happy to assist
Thanks for clearing this up I wasnt sure. I asked lfs and they said when it turns purple keep adding until its a solid blue. I will follow this method from now on
In the video it looks like There is 0.10ml left in the syringe so you used 0.90 in total. Why are you saying that there was 0.27 ml left in the syringe?
@@Redseafish ok so go off where the plunger is at and ignore the remaining liquid is that correct? so if the plunger is at 0.3 but there is 0.2 of liquid go off where the plunger is at?
@@Redseafish ok so when you use syringe do you minus from 1.0 from what is left? So mine stopped at 2 then do we subtract 1.0 - .02 ? Just trying to figure out the math to get the number you look at on the card
Wow way to teach improper titration ever heard of a meniscus who designs a syringe that doesnt take up a whole number volume and says start from a plunger mark . I know the ratio mathematically works out but 20+ years of biochemistry watching this blew my brain apart
This is way better than the old version. It’s critical that the video pointed out the 1ml mark and other readings.

Thank you for your comment, we will look into it ASAP.

If the test is consistently using over 0.8ml of titrate do I have a bad batch?

Glad we could help.
Thank you for the video. It was very clear and helped us a lot.
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Why am I getting 1600 plus magnesium on instant ocean purple salt
It may have high Mg, or you are not mixing for 15 sec between Reagent A drops. Or you don't stop with C at the 1st sight of Blue and overdose.
Awesome, thanks Li.

You always read at the bottom of the plunger. Start to finish.
@@Redseafish ok so go off where the plunger is at and ignore the remaining liquid is that correct? so if the plunger is at 0.3 but there is 0.2 of liquid go off where the plunger is at?
@@garcia7482 yes, this also applies to all test kits. The remaining liquid level is irrelevant, you always start with an air bubble.
Hello mine stopped at 2 what would that be?
That means you used 0.8ml which is equivalent to 1600ppm
@@Redseafish ok so how do I find that out ? What is the formula to go by? Sorry new to these test kits.
flip the color card there's a table.
@@Redseafish ok so when you use syringe do you minus from 1.0 from what is left? So mine stopped at 2 then do we subtract 1.0 - .02 ?
Just trying to figure out the math to get the number you look at on the card
yes. 1.00-0.XX what's left in the syringe is what you used and that indicates how much Mg, or any other parameter you test with out kits, there is
also dont hey make syringes with the 1 ml at the bottom?. BRS said they do so why dont you use those? It wouldnt involve any math! i hate math! LOL

You should read the bottom of the plunger.
