Salifert large bubble? Good or bad?

Got it my tests are perfect now. I thought my numbers were so high

I did the same thing when I first started testing. The written directions are kinda confusing.

For anyone still confused, I describe exactly how to use a syringe here:

Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #161 Using a Syringe

Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #160 I have just drawn tank water into a syringe with a tip (shown below, including a blowup of the barrel). The blue coloration shows where the fluid is. When I started to draw fluid in, the tip and syringe were empty and the plunger was all the way in...

Thanks for that Randy. I recently purchased a salifert kit and couldn't decide which was more stupid. Me, the directions or the kit. Maybe I'll drag it back out now to confirm

It is surprising how many folks read the Salifert directions and syringe backwards and see low alk when it is actually high. Its always been that way and I’m surprised they have not clarified it in the kit.

I may have confirmed I'm the stupid one. I messed with it to no good end. Wondering if stomping on it will make me feel better about it.

I do not mean any offense to Habib Sekha, owner of Salifert who I know is very smart, but it is not the fault of an ordinary user who cannot understand the kit directions just as unacceptably large numbers of other users do not. It is the fault of the kit directions.
