Do you know whether or not all your test kits are up to date? This was
my problem... mine were last year's issue - hence my panic. They were
terribly
erratic.

yup just bought my NEW kit friday,, & i tested with an old one(2 yrs old) &
the results are virtually similar

This 5 tests in 1 is really a great thing to have. It shows
the colors and
inside the label which peels back you have an explanation of each. The
tests it takes are Nitrate; Nitrite; Hardness; Alkalinity; and pH.
(and a "fix" for all the
tests that are off).


I am off to petsmart tomorrow to look for that one.........
