Lab Water Test Update

I only test two parameters on a regular basis, salinity and alkalinity. Every few months water samples are sent to AquariumWaterTesting.com for a full review of water chemistry.

Today I sent out samples and tested my water prior to sending for a comparison of what I currently test at home.

Salinity:
Home Test - 1.026 (34.6 ppt)
AWT Test - 1.023 ????

Alkalinity:
Home Test - 7.1 dKH (2.54 meq/L)
AWT Test - 7.5 dKH (2.61 meq/L)

Other:
Ammonia (NH3-4)
