So have been using the Hanan Dkh tester for 3 months now. My tank always would sit around 8.4ish and over a week dip to maybe 7.8 (no dosing as im just starting to dose Randys 2 part recipe 1)
When i mix a fresh salt water batch weekly for water changes (Red Sea Pro mixed to 1.025) its Dkh measures around 10 normally.
issue
last week iv measured my tank 3 times and get 6.2-6.4dkh (apex probe reads 8.2, though i use apex as a graph for change not exact value) tested fresh made salt water and it read 8 this time.... So im either losing my marbles and testing wrong all of sudden or my hana checker is giving me 2dkh off readings? Will add the reagent is about 3 months old i have ordered a new batch just waiting on it so could be the issue. Im taking a water sample to LFS today to get tested to see what numbers they are showing.
Figured id ask if any one has noticed this before
