Those strips only test for the range theyre listed for. If youre that concerned, get the pool test dropper kit, otherwise get a ph pen.

GH's Micro and Bloom (Lucas Formula) works every time for me.
Thanks, I've been hearing about the lucas formula with mixed results some people love it some people hate it and tell me not to use it i guess i'll give it a try.... with perlite wont it fall thru the cups?
