• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

IMG 7807 I did a 3x dilution to get around 10ppm or 10mg/L solution but I'm assuming my sn is not good bc of the nitrate content
There's a lot of error bc I don't have proper measuring tools but I used a scale (0 decimal places) and starsted at 1g/100mL with a graduated cylinder

I'm curious where the testing method of using aquarium strips to establish SN purity started. I've been in the aquarium hobby for a while, these strips (across all brands) are pretty widely regarded as being all but useless for establishing accurate nitrite/nitrate readings. I cannot imagine they do their job any better for this purpose. Liquid test kits, while a bit pricier, are much more reliable.

Looks good to me, as far as I know.

Thanks for the tip, but what am I looking for exactly in a liquid test kit? Do I need to go to a particular type of store for what you suggest?

You'd be looking for any kind of aquarium/pond water testing kit that includes tests for both nitrites and nitrates. Brand doesn't matter a lot, they're all pretty similar. You can buy those tests individually instead of getting the extras (API does a stand alone nitrite liquid test) but it's not necessarily cheaper than just buying a whole set.

Store wise it depends, most likely to carry them besides online sites are local fish keeping stores. Might find some in a generic pet store, but they often just carry the strips.
This would work fine. I've only got personal experience using NTlabs/API testing kits and i'd say those are the most commonly relied on in hobby (at least where i am) but there's not a lot of difference between liquid test kits, they're all basically equivalent.

Is nitrate showing up as a result a red flag? Or is nitrate being positive for SN a typical result?
