Alkalinity test

[DrAsTiC]

Ok I got a hanna alkalinity test and it says I have 29 ppm...

My understanding is that normal readings should be around [FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=-1]2.5-4 meq/L 7-11 dKH 125-200 ppm[/SIZE][/FONT]

I have some sps browning on me and have had some bleach on me to but most of my sps still have full extension and good color?
29 ppm 1.624 dKH 0.58 MEQ/ is what my readingS are and I am wondering if something is wacked out because if the levels are that low I would believe everything would want to die.

Try testing your meter on new water and a test kit to see what you get. Are you sure that 29 ppm is not 290 ppm ?

It was superrrr low I dosed brightwells alk and got it up to 3.5 meq 9.9 dkh 178 ppm now it seems just a tad to high but with a water change it should level out.
