Hi
I had a site on the internet that one can go to about KH testing. Does anyone have that site?? What I need is the chart from that site. When I do a KH test, I only put in 1 drop to 5ml. The color never changes. One drop says it is ppm KH of 17.9. To bring up the KH levels to 3 - 6 drops or 50 - 100ppm one puts in baking soda. That was what I needed from the chart on the internet. So if one can help with this info that would be great.
55 gallon, just did a 50 change. I try to do a change like this once a month, since we are overstocked right now. I do a 20 to 25% change once a week now.
Nitrates 40
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0 before change ammonia was .50, last week it was 0
Hardness 50
PH 6.3 (always goes down when we do a water change, low PH in well water)
KH 1 drop or 17.9 Should I buffer up this tank with baking soda??
We have a bag of coral in the filter to raise the ph somewhat. It did come up to 6.6. Will have to perform another test in a few minutes. But I know that will raise from the coral. Thanks for any info on the KH
