Nitrate .5
P04 .25 I know, cheap test kit if it is not a Hanna meter .25 is way higher
Salifert Test Kits
Calcium 440
KH/ALK This one always confuses the heck out of me, so if someone can help me to understand the value of the numbers I would greatly appreciate it. I've no idea if these # are good or bad.
