Hi again, I probably done this wrong but when I rec'd the chemi-pure and rinsed it a lot of black dust came out so I rinsed it real well. I also put the sealGel and purigen. After that was in and running I then saw Superman's post. I will keep testing my water.

I have 2 PH test kits. I retested my water after 4 hours of lights being on. I used the Hagen's saltwater test kit this morning and now. Again it reads about 7.9 So I used my other test kit which is Red Sea marine aquariums test lab and PH was 8.1

Anybody use any of these?

What I can say is that my fish are doing well

thanks
Steve
