Bad test
OK I went to rogers publix (about 5 minutes from me) and got 3 jars of mrs waggs. I just did some water testing to see where I am:
Ph 7.8
Alk 5 DKH
Calcium 345
Phosphates are somewhere between .1-.2
This is the first time that Calcium has ever been low in all my testing. In fact before I started dosing alk/ph a few weeks ago it was always over 500. Over the last 2 weeks I have added a bottle and a half of alk/ph buffer. It raises and then drops again.
Of course I question my testing ability. For example the calcium test says add drops till it turns blue. Well it never does. It goes to purple and its not a sudden change. It slowly gets more purple with each drop. Damm test.
So should I take a sample to larry and let him redo my tests? Or should I just add the mrs waggs to my RO water that I top off with? Or should I use a 2 part solution? Or should I just dose the mrs waggs either directly or through a mrs waggs ro drip? Or should I sell my tank and just give up...
