Alkalinity is barely registering at .5. PH is normal @ 8.3, Phosphates are .71 and dropping, Calcium is normal @ 440. Any ideas on what is going on and how to normalize my ALK?
 
I’ve heard those eggs can go bad. I would tend to agree that I don’t see any possible way that’s a real reading if your pH is truly that value. Do you have a second test kit you can try it against? Like a salifert?
 
I’m not sure where you’re located in Minnesota, but I live over in Hudson. I’d be happy to loan you a Salifert test kit so you could try it. Or my Hanna egg so you could compare.
