    Looking for some better insight on using this kit. Overall, the RS kits are great. But the end color for the Alk always has me a bit unsure that I'm making a correct reading. Am I looking for a proper orange (as depicted on the instruction card) or just a definitive change from the blue? The difference is quite significant in the reading...

    When I spoke with a red sea rep he said it was at the point of an abrupt change. It doesn't matter the color your just looking for the drastic change. ALso have you watched the youtube video for the test? If not here is a link.
