Good to know that it was figured out. What's confusing is in the original article, they indicated that Texas had tested the chemical on smaller tanks without ill affects. Just strange.

Yea it is a little odd. But if they tested the smaller tanks they didn't need as much and may have even procured it locally. When they treated the big tanks they probably needed gallons.
At this point I'm just wondering how many of the companies that we use, at hobbyist level, use the same technique of just rebranding names and use out of the sea chemicals, and that wouldn't be my biggest concern, it's just the feel that I'm using exactly what it's labeled for. Many different brands will always be in different sales with the same sample of water and I believe that the only way to make sure you are close to a dead point in readings (without that expensive triton) it's by comparing results with two, even three brand testing vials.
Just mentioned because not long ago Hanna recalled many different vial small packets, not sure if that was just for shelf life chemicals
