KH 170, Ca 260, Can't get it up.

[Beverly]

I have used Aquarium Pharmaceuticals KH test kit for measuring alk in my reefs for years. It's not as refined a test kit as I assume Salifert's would be, but it is still a good test kit.

Myanth, what I don't understand is the number 170. Is that ppm, dKH, meq/L? It's got to be ppm, as dKH and meq/L don't add up to me at all. If you convert the 170 to dKH (should be on your test instructions), what number do you get?
