…and here we have them all to test.
Oceanlife enters into the field of aquarium test kits, thus providing the following tests:
OceanLife test kit NO2 (nitrites)
The test is given for 50 measurements, and the scale of detectable nitrite has the following values:
0 – 0,1 – 0,2 – 0,6 – 1 – 2 mg/l
OceanLife test kit NO3 (nitrates)
The test is given for 100 measurements, and the scale of detectable nitrite has the following values:
0 – 1 – 2 – 5 – 10 – 20 -30 – 40 – 50 – 60 – 70 – 80 – more than 90 mg/l
OceanLife test kit K (potassium)
The test is given for 40 measurements
OceanLife test kit Kh (carbonates)
The test is given for 50 measurements, although this is an average rating, and depends very much if you make the measurements in the aquarium or the output from the reactor of calcium for example.
OceanLife test kit Ca (calcium)
The test is given for 50 measurements, but also in this case the number strongly depends on the value of calcium detected in the tank, since the test, such as that of the Kh and the Magnesium, depends by the number of drops added in order to perform the detection.
OceanLife test kit Mg (magnesium)
The test is given for 50 measurements, but also in this case as for kh and Mg the number of tests depends on the average value in the aquarium, although not expected to differ much from what shown here.
OceanLife test kit PO4 (phosphates)
The test is given for 100 measurements, and the scale of phosphates detectable has the following values:
0 – 0,05 – 0,1 – 0,2 – 0,4 – 0,6 – 0,8 – 1 – 1,2 – 1,4 – 1,6 – 1,8 – 2 mg/l
OceanLife test kit PO4 0-0,2 (phosphates)
The test is given for 50 measurements, and the scale of phosphates detectable has the following values:
0 – 0,01 – 0,02 – 0,03 – 0,04 – 0,06 – 0,08 – 0,1 – 0,2 mg/l
The package of tests is very well done and what surprised me a lot is the possibility to put vial and syringe inside with no problem. For now I just opened the package and I took pictures, shortly I’ll compare them with Elos test which I consider among the best on the market, and since I had just ordered me and arrived on the same day of the Oceanlife test. So I’ll take measurements in my tank, and publish the results with my thoughts on the matter.
For now I can only do my best wishes for this new adventure to Oceanlife
I remind you that in any case the test kit, although they have a high number of measurements, should be used no later than 6 months from first use, to prevent incorrect storage can offset the test. We have to always use our eyes to evaluate the aquarium, let us consider not only the test, and if the tests have detected a clearly wrong value, before making any countermeasure, we should do it again with other reliable brands.
