    How do I measure above 1500 on Salifert?
    My Salifert test only goes up to 1500. I'd like to kick it up to 1800 to get rid of my bryopsis. Is there someway I can do this with Salifert or do I need to get a different tester?

    I think you could dilute your sample with a known amount of RO water. Say run your test with 75% tank water and 25% RO. Then the final answer will have to be multiplied by 1.33 to get the correct answer.
