Call him before 2pm tomorrow. He's leaving town.........a busy man.

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

....lol but i dont have his number lol or how much he wants for the rock, maybe hes talkin to sirreal.....idk

STLshoe I wont take pics of $2 rock-it has no nasties and you can pick the pieces that you want. GWA is a haul for me except Tue at around 3PM. If not come pick the pieces out of the sump, I live right by the Loop-good luck

You're doing a fresh water test on a salt water tank!

Carbonate Hardness (gH) is meaningless for marine tanks.

In the same kit you will see a dKH test kit. This is what you want to use for a marine tank.

There is nothing wrong with the API dKH test kit. It's by far the easiest kit to use for Alk. Each drop is 1 dKH (it doesn't get easier then this).

but the kit says "reef master" saltwater test kit

huh? gh is general hardness......karbonate hardness is Kh......dKh is degrees karbonate hardness

The kit you have probably does both.......(i don't know for sure, but that's my guess)

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

yeah, it says kh/dkh

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

i think i should have gotten the saltwater test kit, not the reef master test kit.....is that maybe the problem?

 

[JxMetal]

aren't reef's in saltwater?

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

lol yea, but sence i dont have corals or lr in it could that effect the readings? idk

 

[JxMetal]

no, you're not testing the coral you're testing the water.

lol okey doke ill try it again after i feed the kittens thanks guys/gals
