We were out of some tests, so thought I would be helpful and pick some up. I know hubby likes the liquid tests (he had liquid API anyways) but I couldnt get it, so bought the test strips by API (maybe at least getting the brand right). I do NOT understand testing beyond Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate... aka I know the closer to zero the better... Hubby deals with this stuff. Well, he is not home:-(
I thought I would be further helpful and test the pond... now I am worried...
LIQUID test results:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
PH: 8
Test strips.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate: 20
GH: 10
KH: 10
PH: 7.5
Water temp is at 81 (pond is 4-5' deep so dont think there is too much variance). I thought I read that GH and KH are supposed to be higher... Are these results okay?
