    JBL test kit unit definition queries

    Hi all. I've some queries regards to the JBL test kit for Fe. The kit provide a pc of paper where we match the colour of the test solution to indicate the Fe content of the tank water. It reads from 0, 0,05, 0,1, 0,2, 0,4 and so on in mg/l. Thus their 0,05, does it meas 0.05 mg/l of Fe? Is this also suppose to mean 0.05ppm of Fe?

    Don't know why they uses ',' instead of '.' as the decimal definition? Is mg/l equivalent to ppm?

    BTW have tested the water using the kit before and after dosing Lushgro micros. Seems that nil content of Fe detected. Wonder is it really nil Fe in the water or the kit faulty.

    Anyone can enlighten me?

    mg/l = ppm. Same.

    Fe disappears very fast in Oxygenated water.

    Yo pal, the duckweed from you really multiply man.

    Hey the Fe disappear fast man, maybe my tank is too oxigenated. So now it seems the test it is redundant as it can't even provide me with a instant Fe concentration indication...

    Have the duckweed multiply is better than having algae. At least removing them are easier.
