thanks Shane the reading I have is in mg/l which is
the same as ppm.so if I had a reading of 120 actually it should be 240,is this
correct?
As for Canadian you are right.Yes this is a hagen
test kit.I know it is crap,waiting for other kit being ordered.Funny thing is
when you need a good test kit fast,all stores are out...
thanks
Dan

dan - it looks like you are canadian and so may be using hagen test
kit. if so the easy thing to do when doing the KH test is multiply your
drops by two -- this gives you a value in meq/l which is a more common unit
for alk. is your alk actually in ppm or is it mg/l?

>Sorry but
am a bit confused.My test kit is for KH.The given result is read in mg/l or
ppm.As for instance my alc reading is 120 ppm or mg/l, where do I go from here
to get meq/l ?

is measured in DKH or meq/l. if you want to convert meq/l to dkh multiply by
2.8 as for the increase in alk you can use baking soda(very small amount) to
raise the alk but eventually you will have to get a two part calcium additive
like esv b-ionic or you will have to get a calcium reactor. Joe

> Your alk. is too low raise it to 3.2 minimum. Alk and Cal work opposite
of each other, alk low = high cal., high alk=low cal. your medium is 3.2
minimum Good Luck Joe
