Thanks. I definitely will take a sample to the LFS. The dip stick
tests I bought mainly because I wanted GH and KH readings (which the AP
master kit lacks). But I find the colors far more difficult to
interpret than the AP liquid tests. I know I have very hard water (lake
Michigan water) and good buffering. pH stays around 7.5/6

Gee, maybe I should be keeping smelts or lake trout

Or African cichlids. ;-)
