We just switched to a salt water system a few weeks ago and I thought I had all my numbers in line with the recommended levels, but I started getting a pH reading that I wasn't sure of. It was a dark orange that didn't match anything on the scale. I rolled with it for a few days, but then did a little searching and found that could be a bad thing, so I went and bought a new bottle of reagent yesterday and tested again. It's giving me a very pale clear pink orange color, again it doesn't match anything on the scale. Is my pH extremely low?
Now I'm not sure if my pH has been out of whack for a while and I didn't know it. I hope I haven't done any major damage.
FC 7.5
CC 1.5 (These were below 0.5. Guess I need to do another SLAM.)
pH Below 7.0?
TA 70
CYA 60 (Still working on raising this to 70-80. Raised it from below 30 to 60 in the last few weeks.)
