Finally got my test kits & Bulk Reef solutions. Tested my water, and you won't believe this, but my CA 20, Mg0, dKH 23! I'm real nervous about starting up a drip system. Went on Bulk Reef and can calculate amt. of CA, but what do I do about the dKH being so high, and why is it so high?

Don't add anything!

The calcium and magnesium cannot be correct.

Which brand kit?
What exactly did you find when doing the tests? That is, how much fluid was added to the endpoint?

Try testing some RO/DI water and some new salt water to make sure you are using the alk kit correctly. :)
