Did you get the blue color when you tested the kH? You have to see blue, and then the next drop to change it to yellow is the # of drops I think. I did it once and I missed the blue stage and kept adding drops up to at least 20 and nothing happened. Do it carefully, and cap the tube each time and see if you don't get blue after the first or second time.

Remember, it's the next drop after blue that gives the # of drops.

Wow. If those are correct numbers that's high, though I only know what my test kit says. 232ppm is what my kit says 13 drops is.

I wish I could say something helpful but I don't know much about kH or gH.
