Salifert calcium test

[SouL_Shaker]

Hi ,

I have salifert calcium test. I wonder how to measure +500 ppm values. My value seems to be higher than 500ppm.

I spend 1ml which is about 500ppm. and 0.17ml more.

Thanks for the help.

Some of the tests have a footnote that tells what each mark in the syringe equates to. May want to read totally thru the directions.

Nothing is written. They say you can't see +500 ppm calcium value on salifert test on the net. I'm confused.

Looking at the salifert directions every 0.02ml = 10ppm calcium, so 0.17 would equal about 85ppm, giving you a total 585ppm.

That assumes the test is accurate to this range, but my red sea instructions allow for more than 1.0ml with directions for calculating so I would think that would be ok for other similar kits

If you use more than one syringe of titrant, just add the values together to get higher values.

Oh yeah. Ty!

I checked my CA balling bottle. There were 4 cm calcium powder dust on the bottom.It seems it wasn't mixed well. That's why it made the values way higher.
