API Nitrate Returning Low Results?

Created by Reef Kinetics, Modified on Tue, 14 Nov, 2023 at 1:12 PM by Reef Kinetics

To ensure the most accurate results, we've added a dedicated stirring test that will be automatically assigned when you choose the API Nitrate on your device.


Here's how to optimize your API Nitrate testing experience:


  1. Schedule a Daily Stirring Test:
    • Head over to the Tests tab on your ReefBot Lab dashboard.
    • Assign API Nitrate reagent 1 and reagent 2 in their respective tubes and save.
    • Navigate to the Dashboard and click on Schedule.
    • Choose the API Nitrate Stirring test and schedule it daily, even if you don't test Nitrate every day.
    • Select a time that precedes the original API Nitrate test by approximately 1-2 hours.

  2. Use the 20ml Vial for API Nitrate Reagent 2:
    • Ensure that you use the 20ml vial for reagent 2 when performing the API Nitrate test. This will ensure consistent and accurate measurements.

These steps will significantly improve the precision of your Nitrate readings and contribute to the overall health of your reef ecosystem.
