Not sure why I never saw anyone talk about it. For the amount of times I test alk amongst my tanks, I don't care about the dkh to a tenth.
I stumbled upon this on the ole Amazon one day. Love it.

Instructions:
Fill container with 5ml of tank water
Each drop of the reagent equates to +1 dkh

That's it. And you can see when it's about to turn color, so you know it was a dkh of 8-9, or 9-10, even closer to 9, or closer to 10. That kind of thing.

The test takes about 20 seconds.. And I've verified it against Red Sea's, Salifert, and Hanna's.

The API DKH test works like that. It is crude but good enough most of the time.
