So i got my water test in the mail yesterday(Red Sea Fresh Master Test Kit Deluxe), and did most of the tests on my tap water, so i could get a baseline reading.
But now i have a coule of questions regarding the tests.
1.) For the GH/KH tests, do you count the first drop as part of the hardness, or only the drops you add after that?
2.) For GH, When I added the first drop, it should have made the water the "start" colour, But instead it was only very very faintly coloured like the start colour... I kept adding drops as per the instructions, and by the time I seen any colour change, it was still very very faint.... almost hard to tell what colour it was.... i could have added the full bottle to get the final, solid colour....
is this normal? or did i do something wrong with the GH test... its just that the colour of that test, wasnt anywhere near as "solid" as the others.
from what i got for the results it was GH: 8 and KH: 6
