I forgot phosphate was 5ppm so will ease off dosing there.
Makes the CO2 calc interesting
Or I’ve wondered how brackish water testing gets on - I mean is it FW or SW colour legend??
JBL strip test really depends on finding a spot with no shadows for the camera I feel. Still prefer the API test (of the two), but having the phone camera work out the colours is the way of the future I feel. JBL is very quick test though compared to API.
And ran out of time to do the CheMETs nitrate test which on cost and time might be getting into something a farmer would use. But I guess if no time to use it, a test kit is a bit useless no matter how good.
Kh was all a bit odd and need to check what each measures. Pool test kit is 3 solutions and pool water is meant to be kept in a certain kh range (so should be better than API and JBL), but want to test some more. (or I could change some water in tank like I should be doing).
Anyways moral of the story is probably never, ever have more than one test kit
