    Default Re: Added CYA and pH took a dive...

    Can do, a couple of questions about that...

    I use a Taylor K-2005 and when I do the TA test, I have a green sample and it tells me to add drops until it changes to red. Does the reading happen when it stops being green or when it becomes a true red? I think it's purple before it's red.

    For CYA, the kit suggests to add the water + reagent combo until a black dot starts to disappear. Does that mean when it turns grey or cloudy or when it's gone?

    Maybe I need to ask Taylor...

    FC = 2.5
    TC = 3
    pH = 7.2
    TA = 160
    CH = 140
    CYA = below 30

    PS...Just reading one of Carl's posts tells me my CYA must be around 20 because the TA was 140 yesterday and it's 160 this morning...
