Title: test kit recomendation
Post by: linksteve on June 17, 2015, 10:11:37 pm
In reading posts about water chemistry, many group members refer to measurements I don't have with my simple idiot litmus paper tester.  I basically get 4 readings: free chlorine, alkalinity, ph and calcium hardness. Are these all that I need to test for?  With a little trial and error my FC is 1-3ppm, Alk is 80ppm, PH is 7.5 and CH is 200-250 ppm.  Is this optimal?  If I need to test for other variables, what test kit is recommended?  Thanks
