The one before my last Salifert test kit came with a Alk check solution. Maybe put up a post looking for some.

btw, both my kits check at 7.0dKH with it.

I have the API test kit for dKH and Ca and have found them consistently low lately...6-ish and 380-ish. However, when I dose up to a dKH of 9 and Ca of 420 according to the API test the colours are way better in the acropora so I suspect the tests may be correct....I am soooo confused-ish...

Ok so I tested again this morning....

API 8.5
Salifert 12.5

tested the check solution which is labeled 7.3....

and got 11.5 *wonders if salifert tests the check solution with their test kits*

so if I subtract 4 from my 12.5 reading I get 8.5 which is what the API test reads


The second salifert test kit from the shop was off the charts...according to that one my dkh is over 16.


I hate test kits!
