Re: aquarium systems alkalinity test

Alkalinity test: (Standard Test-rountine monitoring)
Fill small measuring vial with water to be tested.
Pour into large Titration vial.
Holding titration bottle upside down in vertical position, add reagent-1 drop at a time-to titration vial and swirl to mix.
Note: If initial color is yellow, empty vial and follow precision test guidelines.
Continue adding drops until sample color turns yellow-green.
Divide number of drops by 2 to obtain miliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) of alkalinity.

Alkalinity test: (Precision test)
Fill small measuring vial with water to be tested.
Pour into larger titration vial. Repeat.
Add reagent - 1 drop at a time - to titration vial. Swirl to mix.
Continue adding drops until sample color turns yellow-green.
Divide number of drops by 4 to obtain miliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) of alkalinity.
Multipy that number by 50, this will equal the ppm.
