Re: [APD] CO2 and pH control

[Gordon and Susan Watkins <gwatkins at ritternet_com>]

I just retested with the same results. However, I'm using the Aquarium 
Pharmiceuticals test and I'm unclear whether you count the first drop 
which changes the solution blue. After color change to blue, it takes 9 
drops to turn yellow. If you count the first drop, the KH is 10. Does 
that make more sense?
