only 2 tablespoons of coral substrate?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
I have 10 lbs in my 20 gallon high. Ph at 7.8 from 7.0
Lace rocks help also...(which I have)
Actually....It was I who first mentioned it.

I recommend reading http://www.tomgriffin.com/aquasource/hardwater.shtml before you start messing with the water. RTR's article is a great little chem lesson.
Jamison, first of all there is no way I'm dumping 20lbs of anything into any of my aquariums 
Secondly, I don't want my PH to go up really, if it does go up slightly that's fine, but I'm mainly looking to boost my KH.
I was looking at my test strips earlier and I noticed the readings for the KH starts at 0 and the next reading is 40ppm, so that sort of confused me. Is 40ppm what I'm shooting for? or should I stick to my test kit?

I guess if the first reading after zero is 40 parts per million, the test strips for KH are as useless for aquarium testing as everyone says.
