I just received my new Lamotte Kits today. Of course this mean immediately getting them out of the box and giving them a test run. If you think the regular hobbiest kits can get complicated, wait until you try one of these! I'm sure it won't be as bad once I get used to the differences.
After a bit of confusion I think I have most everything figured out. The one thing that I'm still a bit fuzzy on is that the Low Range Nitrate Test Kit gives readings as ppm NO3-N and that you need to multiply the results by 4.4 to convert the results to ppm NO3. With a little research it appears that my Hagen Kit reads Nitrate as NO3, so I would need to convert the results to be able to accurately compare the two.
Am I also correct in think that the dosing recommendation for Nitrate is also based on NO3 and not NO3-N? Just want to make sure I've got everything straight going forward.
