Default Currents Parameters

I tested with 2 separate kits. My regular Hagen and API.

API...

Ca - 540
Kh - 179 - 1st test
Kh - 161 - 3rd test


Hagen...

Ca - 540
Kh - 120 - 2nd test
Kh - 160 - 4th test (1st new bottle)
Kh - 160 - 5th test (2nd new bottle)


Mg - 1440

SG - 1.025


As you can see the first Hagen test was off. The bottle was low and I guess they become unreliable. I had two spare bottles so I tested with both as well as an extra test against the API. As you can see.... fairly consistent.

The first Hagen bottle... garbage.

My tank is finally nice and balanced. Ca is high as is Mg, but its not the end of the world. At least its not low still!


BONSAI!!!!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
