Aquatic Plant Central - View Single Post - Inaccuracy of Test Kits

Spent the afternoon recalibrating test kits. Found out that my nitrate test kit is over sensitive by a factor of 2.5X!. No worries because I can dilute 4 ml of tank water to 10 ml and test that. Thank goodness for the new(ish) emphasis on calibrating kits. Dodged a bullet this time.....
