So I am using all API Liquid Tests. Wow, the GH and KH is a pain. SO my first question, is there a relatively in-expensive alternative that is more accurate for all these tests?
I haev had the Freshwater Master kit for a while, but including them in my results. JUst looking for thoughts from everyone.
TAP WATER:
KH: 35.8 ppm
GH: 17.9 ppm
PH: 7
Amm: .25 ppm
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: 0
1st 3 Gallon:
KH: 35.8 ppm
GH: 35.8 ppm
PH: 7
Amm: .25 ppm
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: 10 ppm
2nd 3 Gallon:
KH: 35.8 ppm
GH: 53.7 ppm
PH: 7
Amm: .25 ppm
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: 10 ppm
10 Gallon (still cycling):
KH: 71.6 ppm
GH: 107.4 ppm
PH: 7.4
Amm: 0
NitrIte: Off the Charts
NitrAte: Off the Charts
30 Gallon (EI Low Tech Dosing):
KH: 71.6 ppm
GH: 53.7 ppm
PH: 7.4
Amm: 0
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: 20 ppm
Is there anything I should be worried about? I got the KH/GH Test Kit because I just wanted to be able to monitor things closer and get an idea of what is going on. I am told there are other things you can calculate based on these tests.
Do the numbers make sense?
