Yea, colormetric tests are always annoying to read. The dilution is a good option and I'd say the pic you posted does look closer to 20 than 50. Glad that things are going well with the stock!

Definitely a mystery. HoB makes sense - maybe something was clogging it but eventually got jostled loose so it resumed regular operation?I am so confused.
Went to feed the Angel tonight and the waterline in the QT was about two or three inches low and there was water in the floor, on the cabinet, and inside the cabinet.
I immediately called my wife to bring towels assuming it was a leak but it was maybe two gallons so nothing terrible. Towels got most of the water up and there wasn't any damage to the cabinet as it was built for this use.
Where this gets confusing is that there is no leak. I checked and the glass on all sides was dry, maybe a little dried salt in the back. Water managed to somehow get mostly over the front of the tank given where there was signs of splashing but three front of the cabinet was mostly dry. The cabinet top has grommets fit cabling and the insides of the grommets were dry too.
My wife had fed the tank four or five hours earlier and the waterline was fine then. I cleaned up the tank area, topped it back up and checked it every half hour. Almost four hours later and not a drop has left the tank.

There is no leak, no one but my wife was home during the time the 'leak' happened. She didn't do anything besides toss in some flake.
My only guess it's the HoB filter somehow overflowed, maybe the water ran into the grommets and then along the inside top of the cabinet and splashed down at the front. But then, the cabinet doors were closed so how did the carpet a foot in front of the stand get wet? And I mean a single wet patch surrounded by dry carpet.
I am so so confused.
Yeah I've asked here and some other forms and the HOB is 99% the culprit but I can't explain how water got to where it got to.Definitely a mystery. HoB makes sense - maybe something was clogging it but eventually got jostled loose so it resumed regular operation?
