These are the results I got:
pH ~ 7.6
(My tap water tests at 8.6)
NH3/NH4 ~ >0.6 but <0
(The book said it was testing for both NH3 and NH4, I assume these are similiar things?
NO2 ~ >0.1
(I'd almost call it a 0 other then there was a hint of color to the water)
GH ~ 140 ppm
KH 60-70 ppm
(the water turned lime color at six drops but turned completely yellow at seven drops.
So, how did my tank test? Not, this was after a 25% PWC and changing one the sponge filter and putting in a new carbon bag into my HOB filter. (Reason for carbon bag was due to ich treatment with chemicals. Also, I ran into problems when I changed my filters. Read other thread started by me labeled "Proper way of changing filters?")
