Left side view. Notice the cloudiness? It has been cloudy since I first put water in it.

This was last night. Just over 24 hours since addition of the rock. The water is crystal clear! Don't mind my too small DIY construction paper background... I'll get a better one soon.

API is ok... I have a few Salifert kits for kh and cal. I find them more accurate all though I mess up a lot using them lol. I find just bringing it to my guy an have him test it lol.
But I do test regularly I just mess it up a few times lol.
