So I just received a gorgeous frag of "Joe the Coral" from ORA via Live Aquaria. Let me start by saying, this was a generous frag.
Upon opening the bag, I tested the alkalinity to see how far I was off. I about died. I keep my tanks alk low.. 7.5 and more recently and currently 7.8 via KHG-M.
I tested with two test kits, Hanna Checker and Salifert @ 4.5dkh. Yes, that is not a typo.
So, I had to ask the community, did a pH change in the bag lead to a misrepresentation of dkh?
@Randy Holmes-Farley thoughts?
