Hello,
I have been using the Hanna checker to measure ALK in my mixed reef. After realizing that the numbers may have been influenced by old reagent, I purchased new reagent as well as a Red Sea foundations test kit. I run each of the two tests 2x each. The numbers I’m getting from the two tests are not in agreement.
Here are the actual numbers I’m getting:
Hanna ALK 7.8; 7.8
Red Sea ALK 6.8; 6.6
I would like to get my numbers in the 8 range, but based on the tests, I’m not sure how to dose.
My Ph is measuring fairly consistently at 8.0 (night) and 8.2 with Milwaukee probe.
My question is, can I infer any information from the Ph measurement and the above numbers as to the true measurement of ALK?
