035mazdaspeed Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Never tested for alk before but I have a KH kit in my tetra test kit so i figured i would test for it. Every drop I add says its 1/2 degree (dH). I only added 6-7 drops which would make it like 3dKH???? Does that seem right to you, and it seems really lowwwww.....feed back please Link to comment
ihazaKitteh Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Which test are you using? I have always used API test kits. 1 drop per dh. pretty simple. That does seem really low though Link to comment
035mazdaspeed Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Its the tetra test kit. It says one drop for every half dh. Just seems low thats why I wanted you Alls input. Which test are you using? I have always used API test kits. 1 drop per dh. pretty simple. That does seem really low though Link to comment
fayzane Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have been using the Salifert Alk test - it's done by titration so likely more accurate than API. I compared them and the API kit was consistently giving me a false low reading. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The API kit is also done by titration... Link to comment
