Math Time....hehe
ok.....
The drops 17-18 I think you have multiplied that by 10......hence 170 that is mg/l or ppm these 2 are the same thing. dKH is the German reading I think most saltys use this (could be wrong there...lol) Lets start at the drops....... 17x10=170 17.85 is a factor 170/17.85= 9.52dKH now thats not bad at all....IMO The next one is your Mg I dont think you can move forward untill you know what readings you have. good luck P.S. GH is for fresh.......KH is for salt

Thanks huys. I will endeavor to find an Mg test kit. Ca is up to 300 this morning, seeing great white borders to my coraline and my green star has at least 6 new heads this morning. It hasn't grown at all since transplanting to the new tank.
I have been using the top up solution that I made and will keep using it until my readings are in the 425-475 range. Had some precip in the bottom of the top up container. I thought that was pretty normal. Have been monitoring Alk and it has not moved. Yippee. Mike. P.S. in the 21st century they have computers... under the accessories there is a calculator function. It is much smaller than the abacus or the solar powered... if you ignore the tower/monitor/printer/scanner/computer desk/etc. involved with it. On second thought... does anyone have a spare abacus lying around.
