Well, there is another sticking point. I have the tests, but unless i'm doing something stupid, my CA levels and KH levels are both very high right now. I don't know what the #'s correlate to off the top of my head, but my KH was 9 drops and my CA was 24 drops (I'm using Aquarium Pharmaceuticals). I test weekly almost all of my parameters. I do know I have something screwy though because the last time I added buffer (SeaChem) at the reccomended dose, I got precipitate badly enough I had to do almost 1/3 of a water change to bring it back to normal. I'm wondering if I either have a bad test kit (they are brand new) or i'm doing something wrong...
