Elos, API, and some of the newer Salifert test kits have a pinkish orange tritrant, count drops until it changes to blue you get a slight yellow/green in between if you wanna get an idea of the .5 realm of dKH. The salifert is similar, however the test volume size is different as well as the drop size. End result is the same though.

In testing them side by side on different tanks and coming up with the same results, am I an ass in ass-uming that they are the same tritrant?
 
I have both Elos and API and both test exactly the same with the same color variations. I also was wondering if whatever is in those bottle is exactly the same except with a different label on it.
 
i haven't seen these new titrants. i always have at least 2 kits for each parameter and if they don't agree i buy a third brand. i have the older salifert, old api, and seachem
 
Aldie, we should start a club called "observant reefers", I'm wondering if anyone else checks their alk :D

Norman, where the hell are you oh fearless leader!!! I need answers!!!

Tony you can help too!!! Let's go!!

I hope there's no conspiracies going on, youse guys paid off by Veto the company owner?
 
Hehe...

Haven't seen all the kits, but I'd suspect it's the same reagent. Though concentrations may be different to make the drops or volume work out with whatever conversion/chart that each company uses for its kit.
