Ben_RF Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I have assumed so far to get the reading at the 60 second mark for the Aquarium Co Op test strips, however I do notice the colors continue to develop long after the 60 second mark. Should I be waiting for the color that it eventually turns into at around like 5 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 With all chemical test strips read at the required time mark on the bottle. The color will change as the indicator chemical reacts to the water. This is why it's important to have dessicants in the bottles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted July 28, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2021 You read at 60 seconds. As water evaporates or chemicals have time to react, this changes results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
