Is there a better way to read the API copper test? Maybe I'm just color blind but I can't tell the differences. I don't think I'm at 0.5 but I'm afraid to dose anymore just in case I am wrong. Should I buy Seachem copper test kit instead? Has anyone had better luck with this kit? Thanks.
Coppersafe should be kept at 2ppm and you should view the test from the top of the tube, looking down.
I also wouldn't advise using any ammonia reducers like Prime with any copper product. It's a risk no matter what type of copper you are using. Some people have done it with no bad results, but it's not something I recommend doing.
