Hi, I'm wondering if someone could help me out a little regarding my tap water test results please? I'm using the API test kits, everything seemed straight forward regarding the results for ph, amonia, nitrites and nitrates using the colour charts, I'm just a little confused with the kh & gh results.
The Kh took 8 drops to change colour so the result chart says thats 143.2ppm
However the Gh took 18 drops, the chart only goes up to 12 drop results which is 214.8ppm. So would I simply add the results for 12 drops and 6 drops on the chart together to give me a reading of 322.2ppm? or have I got this completely wrong?
So my final results for tap water would be..
Gh 322.2ppm
Kh 143.2ppm
Ph 7.4
Sorry if this is all very basic stuff, I did have a quick search on here and couldn't really find anything to clear this up for me. Thanks in advance for any help or guidance anyone might be able to offer.
Cheers,
Scott.
