instant ocean - calcium tets kit question

[skunkmere]

i got a instant ocean calcium test kit. the instructions say to count the drops of the solution#3 until the water turns blue well. i have been counting till it turns from pink to purple. today i tested and it came out to 22 drops till it turned purple then i multiply that by 15 to get my calcium level which it 330. but i kept going till it turned blue and it came out to 30 drops and (30x15) 450 calcium.

which level is correct, i know this is a noobie question but please will someone spell it out for me.

thanks
skunk

There is your answer ^^

The color change can be confusing. The best way to find out what color you are looking for is to oversaturate (add all of the drops). Once it turns a certain shade of blue ffrom saturation, it will not turn any more blue.
