my hagen carbonate and general hardness tests have value ranges of the results of the tests.
For GH those numbers are 0-60 soft, 61-100 slightly hard, 101-200 moderately hard and over 200 as very hard. something in there about mg/L CaCO3
KH ranges by the tests are as follows <20 suggested to adjust with buffer, 20-80 is range that is low ph or neutral, >80 high ph and salt water to be between 105-125 and fiddle with buffer if needed. these are mg/L
I was just looking at the charts for CO2 and those are listed in degrees of hardness.
I don't know how the numbers the tests give are related to degrees and if you could explain or point me to the conversion table I would apreciate it.
my 20's tank values are currently at ph 7.4, kh 30, gh 40, nitrate 5 mg/L, Phosphate 1 mg/L, no test for K and no co2 injection. I just started testing on that which I have tests for and have dosed phosphate as that was at 0.
hagens 'master test kit' doesn't have the test for K levels. where would I find one and what brands do you use?
we have had such wild swings in water values here I am not sure what to do with water this soft or know if I need to do anything.
