Not true, but 20 is crazy... maybe you might want to buy another one just in case? I wouldn't worry too much for the time being.

if i mixed too much saltmix water can i store them in a fridge and take out in a weeks time, air renate it and use it again for the nxt water change?

coz i got 2 btls now in my fridge,hoping to use it on the coming weekend..mixed 8 btls of distilled last week for my water change..sibei ex lor like this every week..

its it ok if i js get something to treat my water and use it for water change?top water i will still continue to use distilled though...

[kimkim23]

normally it is fill the test vial with your tank water to the marking on the test vial (usually 5 ml)

add the solution provided in the box drop by drop and shake the vial at each drop.

Count the number of drops until the solution changes from blue to yellow.

That is your dKH.

try to achieve 7 -12

I Js tried testing my kh again.. its lower now but 16... are there are products that can bring my KH down?

[Fuzzy]

Storing mixed saltwater in the fridge should be no problem, there are some who store NSW outside of the fridge for up to 4 weeks with no problems also.

But providing some aeration would probably be a good idea for room temperature storage.

Just be sure to bring your saltwater to room temperature before you add it to the tank.

The easiest (cheapest) way to bring down your KH is water changes.

If you intend to use salt mix in the long run, you might want to seriously consider home delivery of distilled water (Water cooler sized bottles) or an RO system like the Crystal Pro.

Most likely the brand / batch of salt mix he bought. Unless the bottled water is mineral water instead of distilled
