During this snowstorm in my tank I did every test I had. Everything looked fine except Alk.
The API kit has a titration test for Alk and 1 drop=1dkh. When I had tested several days prior, it was suppose to go from blue to a vibrant yellow. at 8 drops it was blue, and instantly on the 9th it went bright yellow.
I thought it would be the same thing this time around.
After 10 drops the vial was still blue, at 11 it got a tinge of a different color, but it took 20 drops to get to the same yellow that is was previously at 9. I was freaking out at this point just waiting for the tank to be killed off.
However the water cleared, everything was fine for a few days.
