Don't forget that there is a relationship between Alk and pH. As everyone's tank does a daily pH cycle, you get varied Alk readings depending on where you are in that cycle.

I get about a full dKH difference depending on what time of day I measure the Alk.

If you think you are a bit low...try measuring again right before the lights go off.
