    I do the exact same thing, and I use API as well. No offense to anyone but rising off chemicals and saltwater from equipment just seems like common sense to me.

    Exactly. We are a lot of the time testing PPM. Just the slightest particle of 'dirt' or chemicals from a previous test will easily alter the current test.

    I started reading this thread but didn't have time to read the entire thing. If you haven't already, get your water tested at the LFS or ask a friend to test it, maybe your test kit is bad.

    Okay, so lil update..I just finished the last 5g bucket water change, so that makes 10g water change. I will test the water in about an hour so everything is good and stirred around.

    Hopefully it will be good to go by tonight.
