Salifert Mg Test kit instructions HELP!!!

I just bought a Salifert Mg test kit and I lost its instructions. I searched for instructions online and I found three different ones available:

one that says add 5ml of water to be tested and 6 drops of Mg-1, another that says add 2ml of water to be tested and 5 drops of Mg-1 and a third one that says add 2ml of water and 4 drops of Mg-1.

know I am pretty confused I do not know which one to use. I have also checked some videos on youtube about this kit and they seem to be using different size of spoon and the dropper looks different than the one i have.

Heres a picture of my test kit hope anyone that has the same version of my kit can help me out

It looks to be the newest Mg kit from Salifert. That would be 2 ml water and 5 drops mg1

It is the newest version it the dosing spoon for Mg2 is small and red.

The old kits were 2 ml water and 4 drops.

Don't know about the 5 ml though.

I have the same kit, it's the newer Salifert Mg test kit.
2ml of water, 5 drops of Mg-1, one dosing spoon of Mg-2 and 1ml of Mg-3.
However, if you lost the instructions you also lost the Mg table with which you read the result. Did you find that one online?
