Hi guys, so I recently purchased a TDS Meter to test the water that I have been putting in the tank and using to mix salt with. I have been having some bad algae problems so I wanted to investigate all areas and thought that this would be a good tool to have in my arsenal in the long run anyways.
I have been getting water from my LFS, but the numbers that I saw today really threw me off. Maybe I am interpreting the results incorrectly.
My tap water: 44ppm
Jug of water from LFS: 350ppm
Jug of 1.026 + LFS water: 860ppm
350ppm for water from the LFS seems pretty off right? My tap water should not be lower I thought, unless I am interpreting these results incorrectly. As for my testing methods, I followed the instructions, stick it in 2 inches of water and read. What do you think?
