Who uses this kit to test Alk?
I don't understand what i'm suppose to do.
I fill the little vial then poor into big vial, start dropping in drops until it turns yellow green divide the drop total by 2 to obtain (mEq/L) of Alkalinity.
Am i done with the test?
Small tank 6 drop total for 3 mEq/L
big tank 5 drops total for 2.5 mEq/L

So that's my Alk correct?
if so then what is the conversion table for?

Conversion table is probably to convert meq/l to dKH.
dKH you want to keep about 9 or 9.5, so that is between 3 and 3.5 meq/L
