Well, I just got my alk test kit today, it also includes ph. The alkalinity color card has 3 dif levels: Low Normal High. I checked it and it was on the lower side of normal. On the instructions it said that norma alk was 2.5 meq/l. I added some alk buffer (Seachem reef builder). Should I check alk tomorrow and then add more buffer if alk still isnt on the normal or higher level of normal (Which I heard xenia like 3-5meq/l). On the seachem instructions it said to add twice a week, and check every two week. That doesnt really make sense. Do they mean add twice a week for 2 weeks and then check it?? Also, how will I be able to tell how much buffer I add in my makeup water when the tesk kit doesnt give the exact range. The test is the redsea alk/ph test kit (The droplett test kit). Is it pretty accurate???
