Using old test kits...

RicGio · 10/06/2007, 09:09 AM

I'm currently cycling 50# of Marco rocks in a trash can. I have an old Salifert Ammonia test kit thats been laying around for 6 years. I wanted to use it as a GO or NO GO ammonia test. What do you think? Will it still indicate even remotely accurate?

I doubt it is any good at all.

A couple of years tops.

I'd pick up a new one.
