I aim for around 7-9, I like to keep it closer to 9 but the tank likes to be around 7 it seems.
I too bought the elos kit after people were complaining about the salifert. I got pretty much the same readings for both elos and salifert. And the elos kit had incorrect instructions which I wasn't impressed with so I've stuck with salifert.
