my test has a color coded graph that goes from yellow (low) to blue (high), mine is in the normal section but closer to the high section, if that makes any sense. oh, & a Ph of 8.3
thanks,
russ

72 bf
79 degrees
ammonia, nitrite, nitrite all minimal
alk, a little high but manageable
salinity 1.025
did the last water change 3 days prior, then was told by someone who cleans & maintains reef systems to do a 15 gallon water change & i did that yesterday
thanks,
russ

the only thing i changed is that i used a brita pitcher to clean the water i added or mixed salt into but that was a month ago & this happened suddenly. other than that, nothing has fluctuated or changed
thank you,
russ

russ
