Maeda Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 How do you know your alk is way to high? Your test kit changing color? Have you tried another test kit? Link to comment
loveforfish Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 i use instant ocean with RO water.. i dont get it? Link to comment
musho3210 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 try a different test kit, use both test kits, go to lfs etc. Try something else. If all three give the same results its probably not a test kit problem (unless your really unlucky) Link to comment
