Water testing trick

[Rob's Reef]

Hey guy's

This may or may not be of help, it's something I do so I figured I'd share.

I use quite a few API tests and capping the vile to shake it is a pain when you have to keep adding reagents in. The directions clearly state using your finger can alter the test, even though my local fish store tested my water using his finger...

My little trick is wrapping my finger in plastic wrap! sure beats the leaking API caps!

Hope it helps someone

I always wonder if the drips caught in the cap affect the results. I mea , We are dealing with mls. Lol

Lol right. The kit should come with a rubber sleeve to slip on your finger.

Yeah its a pain, there is always some stuck in the cap, not to mention,what leaks out because the seal on the caps are a joke.
