API Phosphate Test Color Comparison chart

csmsss · 07-02-2009, 06:34 PM

Does anyone have a scan available of the saltwater test comparison chart for the API phosphate test kit? I just brought this kit home and it has a freshwater chart, but not a saltwater comparison chart.

Anyone have a scan of this chart?

I have that test. I'll see if I can scan it tomorrow. Pretty much it starts at yellow (0ppm) and turns dark green (10ppm).

Everytime ive used that test it never came out any color on the chart.

Yeah it always seems to be a little off color, but most tests look that way to me. I really hate the color comparison tests.

I tried to scan the chart, but the colors were way off. Sorry, my scanner sucks. Hopefully someone else has that test kit and a better scanner. I think someone posted charts from some test kits once on reefcentral (sorry for mentioning another forum!!! please forgive me!!). Don't know if they were API tests, but you could at least try searching for them. It was about 8 months ago, so make sure you change the search options for that long ago.

Thanks for putting in the old college try. I'll just go back to the LFS on Tuesday (they're closed tomorrow) and see if he's got any spares. Thanks!
