low range nitrate kits
Folks,
I used to have the SeaTest nitrate kit. It's a relatively inexpensive
kit, but I can't remember exactly what it cost. The kit uses two
powdered reagents in foil packets. With their instructions the kit
measures NO3-N in two ranges; either 0-1 ppm or 0-10 ppm. The test uses
a 5-step, solid plastic color standard that is held in a slot next to
the test vial. As NO3 those ranges are 0-4.4 and 0-44. In either range
I found it hard to read the test when conditions were near the top of
the range.
SeaTest markets the kit mostly for use in reefs. I think it works just
as well in freshwater, but I haven't confirmed that with SeaTest.
