shiuh Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 hi all, is there a test kit for Iron and Co2? this is for monitoring the plants of course. went to animates today and all they have is the usual ammonia, nitrate, nitrite test kits.

beachy Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Yep you can, they might need to order them though. if you have a Kh and Ph test kit, you can use this chart for Co2 http://www.aquatic-plants.org/articles/khph_table/khph_table.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiuh Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 wow! thanks!! what about Fe Iron test kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverJohn Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 HI Shuih.... Hey be carefull with the iron test kit. I bought one a while ago, tested water yep iron was low! so thats great BUT once i organised a good PMDD fert, plants grow like crazy, hardey used the test kit ever again, so it sitting 90% unused, and.... expired. Dunno if it is really useless, maybe some one who has been using kits longer can elaborate, do the reagants deteriorate once opened?? For my ten cents i would happily pay the $1 if the LFS would do an iron test, better than paying the $40 ( i think) for the Fe test kit.
