Evening all,
I got some premixed buckets of tropic Marin bio from my LFS. I did a small water change and tested my alkalinity and it shot up from 8.2 to 11.4. I tested the bucket water and it was around 12. Something.
does this seem way off I thought the dkh of this salt was 8-9? Or is my Hanna checker just off? I am on the last bit of reagent and I have heard it throws it off?
I have checked for the past few days and it’s still high but coming down. It’s down to about 10.1 over the course of 6-7 days I think.
so bad salt? Bad reagent? Something else?
