I recently acquired all of the testing supplies I thought I may need to monitor changing conditions.
Yesterday I tested for Alkalinity and here's what I have..
WT: 47F
pH: 7.4
KH: 7.5= meq/L 2.678= dKH 8.008= ppm: 143
I understand pH, and 143ppm but not sure I understand what the 143ppm Alkalinity truly "means"..
I read 50-200ppm is best range, yet 20 is sometimes found as acceptable (I read).
I know this probably won't stay up long on recent posts but if anyone can tell me if these numbers "indicate" anything in particular, I'd appreciate understanding more about this.
Thanks
