Learning to test and dose

[brad65ford]

Guys, I need some help. I'm color blind and I just can not see results from the salifert test kits I have. I've basically given up on testing and only relie on water changes but I'd rather dose at this point.

What can I do, is there any other ways of testing other than needing to see color changes?

Thanks in advanced.

Some thoughts, take a picture and post online. I'm sure people here would be more than happy to help out. A local LFS probably does tests for free. Ph can be measured using a probe. Keep fish level low, so you know your nitrates are nonexistant. You'll see if they go up by the algae growth anyway.

The New Hanna Checkers display numbers instead of using color shades. Not too costly.

Hanna checkers... They should work well for you!
