This liquid kit reads it from 0 to 8 ppm and ships with two colour charts, one for freshwater and one for saltwater, because the same reagent develops to different shades in the two. A healthy established tank should read zero — anything above that means a water change now, not later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 liquid dropper test solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 test tube with a snap-tight cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshwater and saltwater colour charts, plus instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to read it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWait the full five minutes for the colour to develop, and read it in good light against something white.
