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?

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.
