Ok so I just tested my parameters and when I tested them before I thought nothing of it but my alkalinity test never turns orange like on the test guide.
My test goes from blue to green and then to yellow.
When it turns green it's usually at 0.5 and then turns yellow at about 0.3. But I can use the whole syringe and it'll never turn orange.
I've also watched the Red Sea YouTube video on it and it shows it from going blue to purple and then to red. Which I don't understand because the guide clearly looks orange..
I just want to know if I'm still getting accurate readings and my alkalinity is ok because if it's right my alkalinity is at 9.8 dKH. Because that's when it turned yellow.
Also I don't know if this causes an issue but my syringe stops at 1.0ml but the liquid stops at 0.9ml when the other two tests stop and 1.0ml and the liquid is at 0.8ml..
And both other tests from the kit read the correct colors. So those two I don't think are an issue.
Well any opinions are greatly appreciated!
If pics are needed I'll add them.
