Carbonate hardness
My carbonate hardness is super high. It's 20. I'm not sure how to lower it. I did a water change yesterday. I use RO Water. I tested it and it's carbonate hardness is 0. I'm using premixed saltwater from my lfs its in 5 gallons. It's carbonate hardness is 12. I'm not sure how to lower it. Please help!

If you are adding pH buffer stop, either lots of water changes or time will bring it down.
Also double check for a bad test kit |
