LeftHookGary Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I had to clean it as it leaked in shipping and it got all over my hands while doing that. Got a full refund so shout out to aquariumsuplies. Basically found out that nitrate 1 is basically hydrochloric acid and that explains the burning. What do I do with the water after I have tested it, is it fine to put down the drain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yes, along with some water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcricket Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 The test kit is fairly well designed, the bottles seem to be a clean and no fuss way to test, even for someone as uncoordinated as me. I wouldn't be too worried about safety gear, just take some care and rinse thoroughly if any slip-ups do happen. I haven't used Aquarium Supplies before, glad to hear they look after their customers.
