I got a Salifert Alk test kit today and did the test with no results?? I followed the directions as listed but my water in test vial never changed to the orange-red or pink color as directions says it should. I did a test on the water i get from LFS and it turned to pink color at 7.7KH. I did small water change and tested again, still not on the charts?? Does this mean Alk is to low or high?? What should i do to find out where my Alk level is currently at? If low or high, how do i correct this? Please help!!
Thanks!
