I'll admit it, its been a little while since I ran any tests on my water. Today I figured I'd run the gamut of what I have as I usually don't even test for Ammonia or Trites unless my trates start going up. PH=7.8, lower than normal but I know why. I've forgotten to add the buffer to the water when I do tops offs in my sump lately, easily fixable. NH3/NH4+, NO2-, and NO3- all nonexistent. However my KH was down to 179ppm. I don't have my tank set up as a reef yet, but in the future it will be. What are some ways to maintain the KH where it should be? I'm new to a lot of this really. I have a FW tank, but thats a different world and can't be a base for the SW realm. I have a 75gallon SW tank thats been set up for about 2 years now with its own little hiccups-mainly due to my inexperience.
Starting to question my understanding of this. The test kit shows that I am at a dKH of 10 (most websites, say this is where it should be) and the KH is 179ppm. Am I getting this confused with something else? I thought KH was supposed to be over 300ppm.
