Regular Member Kissy Posted July 3, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 3, 2005 I lost my chart for the tests...can anyone scan and send it to me or post it here? I tried to go0gle it already and couldn't find anything big enough. Time is crucial! I'm embarkin on an exciting new discovery with KH I might get some fish in an hour but only if this experiment goes right! Please help me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Kissy Posted July 4, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 Er...for total alkalinity I have blue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kissy Posted July 4, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 I read somewhere that if you boil your water, the kH (total alkalinity) will go down. Mine's always been way too high, so I tried this little experiment. I have been using aquarium pharm master test kit for a few months so I guess I lost the chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Kissy Posted July 5, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 5, 2005 I guess the experiment didn't work. My tropicals are stuck at 8.3 pH unless I guy distilled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
