Seachem iodine puzzle. Can you solve the riddle of this guide?

I believe the Seachem team has some monkeys running around the office making instructions. Put simply, they are unclear and difficult to understand. iodide2 sample? When this is the case, they call the same item by different names while giving directions, which is very confusing. You'll be scratching your head for 3 hours to make sure you're reading this correctly. Worse, there are many parts and many steps to get the result. I ended up doing iodine testing for a while after this purchase.

Pros
  • COLOR CHART: All MultiTest test kits come with an easy to read color chart. It has a 5 cm viewing window to isolate the color and match the test sample as closely as possible.
Cons
  • Out of fashion

It's misleading and doesn't work in most cases.

This test is very disappointing. I am receiving Reagent 2 to follow the directions exactly and expect to be able to use it as directed within 3-4 hours. I am going to test my pattern and it seems to "work". Then I add my iodine supplement and let it circulate for 30 minutes. When I go to test another sample it doesn't respond. I make sure to shake Reagent 2, but 2 drops won't cause the batter to turn blue. I don't understand how it doesn't work the second time when the instructions clearly sayโ€ฆ

Pros
  • CHARACTERISTICS: The correct functioning of the kits can be checked by performing the test in the usual way, except that a reference sample is used instead of the aquarium sample.
Cons
  • old

Kit has expired

The kit I received from Revain didn't work, also the reference didn't show any color when tested. The reagents may have expired. I emailed Seachem support and they sent me a new one that worked as advertised. The color intensity seems to be inconsistent and there is little time to read. I check the reference sample each time, which limits the number of tests I can run if I need a resolution other than present or absent. The test is fairly simple, but *requires* RODI or distilled water. Waitingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • KIT INCLUDES: Iodide Reagent 1, 2, 2a and 2b, Iodine Standard, Stirrer, Dispensing Pipette, Sample Pipette, Iodide Color Chart, Multi-Well Test Plate and Instructions.
Cons
  • It was possible to choose a newer model
