For a reef I prefer to keep mine around 10.

What scale are you using to measure?
8-12 DKH
3.0-4.5 mEq/L
I run mine at 3.5 mEq/L, which is about 9.8 DKH

I tested mine tonight to a 3.5mEq/l. The direction with my test kit are very hard for me to follow and I couldn't find my water chemistry book. Thanks for everyone help.
