Quick Salifert Tests Question

[rondagp]

I can't find the directions for my Salifert Tests at the moment and I want to test now.
(I figured I've done it enough I can go by memory).
What I can't remember for sure is how much test water to use for the Nitrate test and the Calcium test. I'm getting it mixed up which one uses 1ml and which one uses 2ml.
Thanks!

the calcium uses 2 ml, i lost my directions to, do you remember how many drops of the ca-2 you use (6 or 8)
thanks

It depends on the calcium kit. The older ones was 3ml and the new ones are 2ml. Do you have a 5ml or 2ml syringe in the kit??
The Nitrate, 1ml for the normal test and 10ml for the low range test.

the 2 ml is 8 drops are you can cut it in half by doing 1ml four drops ca-2
