Alk - how high is too high?

[Kelz88]

Figured as much. When I told him I always heard it was between 8 and 12dkh he basically told me I was wrong and recommended some book I have never heard of :/

Going to order a different test and when that comes ill see how that one goes :)

I'd go to one of your LFS and ask them to test it as well, just so you have more info.

+2 on going to the lfs to get it tested.

Yeah I only have a pets unlimited here, called them and they only test the basics -.-

Figures.

Ohwell ill just have to wait until I get a new test. Driving 10 hours is just not an option atm;)

If the corals in your tank look normal, I wouldn't rush out and get a new test kit, everything is most likely ok
