Nutrafin Po4 Test Kit

[MoreCoffee]

Hi,

I recently bought a Nutrafin PO4 test kit from a 'not-so-local' fish shop only to find that today when I tried
to do a test for the first time there were no instructions inside.
Judging by the contents listed on the box, I think that is all that is missing.

Does anybody have experience in using this kit .... how many drops of solution #1, #2 and #3 do I add and
what reaction am I looking for (no colour chart listed on contents).


If anybody can help, could they please post the instructions here, or PM them to me.

Many thanks.

Mr G


Note: If the shop was local I could return it, but it's an hours drive away (each way). I just happened to be
passing and saw the test kit, so bought it !

Thanks again,

Can anybody answer one more question ...

Zig's EI guide talks in 'ppm' and the test set gives results in mg/l

How do I convert from one to the other ? Or is it as I suspect, that they are one and the same thing, just expressed differently !

(why is nothing ever straight forward)


Thanks

It's as I suspected and Achown confirmed (I also managed to confirm it via a google search).

mg/l and ppm are the same thing, just expressed differently.

Therefore 1mg/l = 1ppm

So it seems I was wrong .....

(why is nothing ever straight forward)

....Somtimes they are !
