Hi guys, so I bought the API GH & KH test kit and am struggling with how to read the conversion chart on the back of the pamphlet. The results were:

KH: 8 drops // GH: 12 drops

on the conversion chart, it says 143.2 ppm GH/KH for 8 drops and 214.8 ppm GH/KH for 12 drops. so which one applies to me?

thanks!
 
If I recall correctly, with the API kit one drop equals 1dKH so eight would be 8dKH.

Never bothered with GH myself but from your notes it would be: 12 drops = 214.8ppm.
