TB Aquatics - New $39.95 Phosphate Photometer

[JARRETT SHARK]

Bump? Is it worth $40??

The reviiews should be in shortly. For someone like me that needs a sharp color contrast (Salifert Ca, Mg, Alk) or a digital readout it's worth it.

Where do i find the tracking # .Said it was shipped on the 25 but dont see a tracking #.

 

[motortrendz]

im def in on the order if its any good..

 

[Awibrandy]

Soon as UPS delivers I will let you guys know!

batt, tracking number is should be in the email you received! You'll probably receive your's tomorrow to. Most likely both of our's will be on the same UPS truck since we live blocks away from each other.

 

[motortrendz]

[batt600]

I got mine seems to work fine. A big money saver over salifert tests. Test kits are becoming so expensive.

I just got mines to but I have a ?.What reading is good n what is bad?

 

[zook]

I believe NSW averages 0.030 mg/L with an acceptable range of 0.000 to 0.250 mg/L in home aquaria

 

[ereefer]

I got it batt! Mine works, or at least I think it does. Not sure on the results though.
Did 3 test on my reef 0.00, 1.15, 1nu error message which states that the covet was inverted.lol, my guess is that the meter has to stay upright while it reads (don't tilt it), and the last was 1.05. Two weeks ago my reef's water was tested by another reefer with a Milwaukee phos meter, and those results was 0.04. So either his was way off, or my P04 jumped up by 1.01 ppms in the past 2 weeks, or I'm doing something wrong, or this meter is not as adequate.
I also tested my fowlr - hold on to your seat 2.27 ppm for my fowlr.:smash:

Make sure to clean the cavett really good with a soft lint free fabric, and once you put the cavett in the meter, and put the lid down sit it up right while it counts out the 3 min..


Come on people, who else got their's, and used it?
