GH Test kit question
I keep getting this strange results from all of my GH test kits, which
I assume is due to extremely soft water, but I need confirmation from you guys. I have FishDoc, Duplam, and Sera GH kits, all instructions said that as soon as the test liquid turns green then it's done. Okay, first drop, the colour is too light, I couldn't tell anything so I continue to second drop, orange, third, orange... etc. I have tried 30 drops, and I still couldn't get it to turn green. Is it possible that it actually turned green in the first drop, but the concentration is so low that as soon as I put the second drop into the tube the colour would turned back to orange? I am very sure that the water isn't hard since my tonina is thriving. Thanks Kenneth |

I would think that the colour starts off orange and then turns green. You could also send an email to the manufacturer. Rick |

Same thing happens when you test RO water. |
