So much this! In my case though I suffer from fine-motor control impairment since childhood, making normal drop-counting titration tests unbearably painful to perform.
I feel ya, I was hit with vision loss and ms at the same time a couple years back so I know how impossible it is. I wish R2R had a section on helpful tips and tricks for people with difficulties!
The low range nitrate def a fail
I hope that was a joke but I am confident that I did my test consistently lol
That is an awesome idea!! I'm actually kind of surprised there isn't one already?
I wish I was joking! I’ve had family, neighbors (there’s no fellow reefers nearby that I’ve found) perform tests for me. I try to calmly explain the procedures and how critical it is to be as perfect as possible but man, talk about all over the map! Everything from the color never changed, putting the b reagent in before the a reagent, mixing up the sample with rodi, it’s hard not to get frustrated with people trying to help you sometimes.
Exactly, Hanna has been a life saver. The readout is pretty large too. I agree on Salifert with contrasting colors, Red Sea seem to like shades of blue, ugh. And anything with a color card or wheel forget it!
I believe you but again I am confident that I did it right since there are only two steps lol
I’m sure you did! I wasn’t trying to tell you that you did wrong at all if that’s how it came across
No gloves but wipe off with napkins and looked through the light to make sure it’s clean. Yup I rinse them all with rodi. As I mentioned above, I am confident that I have done it right. Hopefully they will send me a replacement that’s not way off
