Just tested again (Salifert) and it's simply a milky white colour. Which means it's still less than 0.25 as the actual scale moves from colourless to shades of yellow. I see no yellow at all so far.
Planning a waterchange on my one week anniversary. Skimmate is getting nastier looking daily.
Thanks.
EDIT: Guess miracles *don't* happen. I'm topping my freshwater reservoir up right now and indeed without the DI I'm getting a reading of 4. Which actually makes me happy because zero seemed unreasonable to me before and I questioned the meter. Also when I fired up the unit It read about 170 and dropped to 4 in about 30 seconds. So TDS creep is also real I'll have to run that water elsewhere for 30 seconds in the future with a diverter valve.
