LFS water testing lower than home Hanna tests. My home Hanna HR read 63 today, however the LFS says they read 30. Three weeks ago I measured 73, same store said it was 30. I doublechecked with my API and it also showed high. Which should I trust? I am thinking about taking sample to a different LFS.

What test is the LFS using?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
