Day 3 test: Interesting results. Ca 420 (Test 1), 400 (Test 2) Alk 9.7 (Test 1), 9.8 (Test 2) Mg 1200 (Test 1), 1200 (Test 2). Tomorrow morning I...

Hey all, I have noticed a few people have had a bit of a wall with motivation when they have hit some hard times in their tanks. So I decided to...

I am using Red Sea test kits. I did not test a second time. I will do another set of tests tonight and test twice.
