Hi Guys,
Perhaps you can help me out before I tear my hair out!
I am somewhat confused by different alkalinity readings.
I have a Seachem test kit which uses the no. of drops to determine total alkalinity.
According to the test it takes 6 drops for the colour of the solution to turn from blue to yellow. i.e. total alkalinity = 3 meq/l = 8.4 KH.
However,and this is where the confusion sets in, my local, and very respected, supplier used an Elos test kit which indicated a total alkalinity of only 4.5 KH.
My leather corals seem fine but I need to be 100 % sure.
Could you perhaps give me some advice on what I might be doing wrong or if it is the test kit?
Any advice welcome!
Cheers,
Costa.
