Help With Kalkwasser

Radiography14 · 04/14/2007, 10:24 PM

Hi there

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

I have mixed a bunch of kalkwasser in a 20 gallon rubbermaid container today and i stirred it with a powerhead for an hour ,THEN LET IT SET FOR 2 HOURS then i kept the cover over the top and decided to test for alk and calcium content.

my alk or hardness tested just right at a 12
my calcium tested 120

what is wrong with this pic?

after the stirring with the powerhead the water set for 2.5 hours when the testing happened?

this is going to be used as top off water in my tank. this replaced the evaporated water.

are these levels where they should be?

thanks for reading
P.S I HAVE A 20 GALLON TANK
