ic are you using the test strips? i read a artical that it should be between 150 and 300 ppm..sorry never used test kits like that

ok the math is - - -count the drops till color change {6} divide by 2 to get mEq/L {3}and multiply by 50 to get PPM = 150

multiply by 2.8 to get DKH - - -that would be 8.4

so my mEq/L = 3 and DKH = 8.4 - - - -is that mid range and ok?

God, someone just needs to make an all-in-one digital testmeter. I would spend $300 on that if I ever went SW just to avoid the math...lol
Even make it more simplified by putting green/red L.E.D.s by ever vailue putting it on a Pass/Fail system. rofl

It's the new skimmer that was made for my biocube by Oceanic

sorry i never used those types. you might be able to google your skimmer and find mods to help..good luck

this is an instant ocean test kit....put water in the tester and add premeasured powder for each test...not strips....... but doing the math correctly i came up with your numbers...i'll do some research on the levels and see what i should do........

as far as i am reading the oceanic biocube uses the red sea prizm skimmer [base model not the deluxe] pimp....so you should be able to give some advice on that considering you sold me the same skimmer .....lol
