what should my Kh reading be??

[lakersfan5016]

Can someone advise if this is a good Kh reading ?? I tested it with an API test kit and it reads 12 (degrees I think), and 214.8 ppm. ??? I have fish and live rock and want to start corals in the near future and want to get everything where it should be. Thanks, tank is 9 mos or so old and 70gallon.

that's a pretty good one. what's your pH?

About 8.2

sounds like you are where you want to be.

its a tad high. not dangerously high, but most people aim for between 8 and 11 dkh.
