Method How to test the SN with the Aquarium strip?

[Sk3le]

Should i Just fill a glass of water with 20grams of SN and Just dip in It the strip?
There are better way tò test It?

I'm positive that will not yield meaningful results.

Please please consult the guides like

SN aquarium purity testing

This is based on @jake3d 's write up, but aims to get results around the *middle* of the test range. When we get results at the edge of the range, eg the max, it may leave us questioning the accuracy, eg was the true value higher than the max (eg due to a mistake with the test method), but can't...

And then if it helps to simplify, credit to besechgod for translating my poor instructions into formulae:

Note - READ YOUR TEST KIT INDTRUCTIONS.

THIS GUIDE ASSUMES YOU HAVE A TEST WITH A RANGE OF A-B PPM.

YOU SHOULD TARGET THE MIDDLE OF THAT RANGE, X.

L = liter
g = gram
ml = milliliter (1000ml in 1L)
mg = milligram (1000 mg in 1g)
ppt = parts per thousand
ppm = parts per million
In comparing parts per x of water, 1g = 1 part and 1ml = 1 part, so 1g/1000ml = 1ppt

1. Solution A:
1L distilled water (should read 0ppm nitrite).
Weigh and add 1g sn to water.
This is now 1g/L (sn/water).
1g/L = 1g/1000ml = 1 ppt

2. Solution B:
To get X ppm:
1L distilled water.
Remove x ml water, leaving (1000-x) ml.
Add X ml of Solution A to Solution B.
We now have X mg of test substance in 1L of water
= X mg/ 1000 ml = ppm


Please always be safe - I urge due caution and consideration as well as wish peace whatever you decide

Most people use "bartovation" brand test strips.
The strips should test for both sodium nitRAte & sodium nitRITe, as nitrites convert to nitrates with age & exposure.

Shit, thats too complicated for me right now.
