Anyone have their LFS tell them that their Alkalinity and Magnesium are low and should be dosed but your own test kits are telling you otherwise? Both LFS and myself are using Salifert test kits and testing the same water sample.

Alkalinity:
LFS 7.85
Me 8.3

Magnesium:
LFS 1290
Me 1500+

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
