Or am I missing somthing important about KH?

You could be raising your pH move often than required, not to mention
have the pH go through up and down swings which can be harmful to your
fish.

KH is one of the more important things to test, because it acts as a
buffer. The higher the KH, the more stable your pH. There's many ways
to raise KH, like using baking soda, crushed coral, shells, limestone,
etc etc.

For the $10 it costs for the kit, it's worth every penny.
