seeing as though I know my hydrometer is off by .003 cause it was just compared to a refractometer on wednesday, I made a mistake saying it was 1.023, I checked it 5 times and it reads 1.0215(so + .003=1.0245) so my actual salinity is 1.0245 so its just slightly low, but tomorrow I am going to have my hydrometer checked again as well as take a water sample for testing, and replace the bad alk test kit.
other then that my params PARAMS Salinity 1.0235---actually is 1.0245 CA 320-----accurate but bringing it up slowly ph 8.1 accurate Ammonia 0 ppm accurate Alk/Kh 27???? WTF?--broken test kit Phosphate less then .25---is this ok? Nitrites 0 ppm---accurate Nitrates 0 ppm---accurate so all this being said, should I still hold off on my fish purchase if this is my actual parameters? or are they in fact ok?

k so my alkalinity is still reading high on the new batch at 24dkh which I'm guessing this means I got a rotten test kit. everything else is accurate from what I can tell.. so if my calcium is reading 420 now in the new batch compared to 320 the alk should realistically be ok right?
