Alkalinity situation.
I'm a beginner. I'm using a fasTest brand Alkalinity test. When I test my
tank water I can't get the sample to change color, no matter how much reagent I add. I tested my tap water and got a result. Clearly I'm off the scale in one direction or the other. Can anyone tell me how to figure this out. My calcium is really high 640 and my ph is 8.8. I appear to have an issue, not sure where to start. All life in my tank is happy, 2 damsels, 2 mollies (daughters experiment) and a coral beauty. Tank is 8 weeks old. Nothing seems stressed. Coralline algae growth seems pretty slow, but it is growing. Thanks, -Brad
