hi,

Currently i am using borneo wild GH up..
I not sure did it really help on rising the GH level as my tetra GH test kit does not do good as 1st drop turn yellow instead of red.
i guess i will need to get another test kit in order to measure the GH level again

its not the test kit problem... its cause your gh is lower then 1 or its 1! just give the gh up solution some time to react! then measure it again!

The test kit instructiion i think should be: count the number of drops it takes for the colour to turn yellow to red.

For yours, since 1 drop is enough to turn the solution red on the first try then check with your chart how many GH is one drop.

use the test kit at bright places... its because the color changes are very little! you add 10drops thats why it become dark yellow!! LOL!!! if you wanna try if the GH up solution works or not.. try adding it to a pail of water! measure the water b4 you add GH up solution and after you add the solution! see the difference!
