Need immediate help
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a problem.
Been testing with my Salifert Kits and dosing accordingly. Levels do not change much after retesting the next day. Then I test with two other kits and get different readings. 3 total here they are:
Salifert 2 test kits for DKH/ALK. One comes out to 8.45/3.03 the other is 9.15/3.25.
API KH Kit comes out to 12.
Elos KH comes out to 18.
Salifert Calcium reads 395.
API Calcium reads 480.
Salifert Magnesium reads 1275
ELOS Magnesium reads 1050
Which test Kits should I believe. Some of the above tell me to keep dosing and the other tests say I shouldn't.
Tank has cycled. Set up for 8 weeks and I have a CUC, 6 small fish and numerous Chalices and LPS and 3 SPS. Everything looks to be fine. I may be loosing a little color on one Acro but that may be lighting.
Tank 120g, Light Tek Light T-5 with all new Geisman and ATI bulbs.
Thanks.
