      General testing today shows all as good numbers.
      APOLOGIES - I see that RICHTOYBOX had said that 18 drops were not excessive in a previous post. Whew!

      So, just to be clear, now with these tests, do I keep adding baking soda (?), ??

      Not needed. The baking soda is to get that KH up and you have a good solid KH now. Just monitor. You might check your tap water for KH to see if you will need to add after water changes, or if there is enough in the tap water to keep the KH up.
