Default And the test results are in.

Salinity- 1.023
Ammonia- 0
Nitrate- 0
Phosphate- 0-0.1
PH- 8.4
kh- 5 (needs help) I'm already on it.
Calcium- 700 (ouch!) I know why.

didn't test nitrites
Considering I've tested my water 2 times in the last 8 months I'm pretty happy with the results. I was a bit nervous about it.
