Well my API kits are all over the place. The PH is just hard to read... Actually most of them are pretty difficult to read unless they are zeroed out. But my API kit for Calcium, forget it... It's showing that my average is above 600 sometimes more than 700... I'm sorry but something is wrong there. I do a lot of tests,and I even test my water before taking it to the LFS to get checked and there is always a huge difference.
