The Mg Smart test kit is part of a series of drop tests developed by Reef Factory LAB. This kit is designed for a quick measurement of magnesium concentration in marine aquariums from the comfort of your home. You can perform approximately 60 tests within the range of 30 to 1500 mg/L.
Distinguishing features of the product:
- 60 tests ranging from 30 to 1500 mg/L
- Compatible with the Smart Reef system
- Interactive instructions
- New formula of all reagents in liquid form
- Simplicity in performing and reading the test results
- Laboratory-confirmed quality
- Direct recommendations in the application
With Smart Reef, the drop test takes on a new level of ease. Thanks to the integration with the application and the Dosing Panel, interpreting the results becomes quite simple. You will see clear recommendations on how to maintain the parameter in the optimal range based on results presented on an easy-to-read scale. Furthermore, the dosing panel keeps a history of measurements and allows you to conveniently share this information with other hobbyists. It is a lot of convenience in just one app!
How to take measurements with the Mg Smart test kit?
- Take 2 ml of water from the aquarium using a syringe and pour it into the vial.
- Add 4 drops from the Mg Reagent dropper to the vial. Carefully stir the vial in a circular motion.
- Shake Mg Reagent 2, then add 3 drops of this liquid to the test tube. Stir the solution gently in circular motions. The liquid in the test tube should turn pink.
- Attach the dispensing needle to a 1 ml syringe.
- Draw up 1 ml of Ca Reagent 3. Ensure the tip of the plunger indicates exactly 1 ml. Note: Air between the fluid and the plunger does not affect the accuracy of the test.
- Using the syringe with the dispensing needle, add Mg Reagent 3 drop by drop to the liquid in the test tube, ensuring it does not stick to the walls. Stir the tube after each drop and observe the color change.
- The pink solution will gradually change to a transitional color – purple. When the liquid turns blue, stop adding drops.
- Read the value of the remaining liquid Mg Reagent 3 in the syringe as indicated by the syringe plunger. Compare this with the results table or enter it into the Smart Reef user panel.
What to do next.
Based on the test results, the Smart Reef system will provide you with supplementation recommendations to maintain the best living conditions for your corals. You can enter these recommendations manually, or if you use our metering pumps, you can send them directly to the pumps. They will dispense the exact amounts of supplements necessary to provide the essential elements your animals need.
