KH is measured in meq/L or dKH.

Yep, Hagen measures in
ppm . I use my KH test kit as often as possible...so I can RUN OUT OF REAGENT AND GET A DIFFERENT KIT!! Sorry, was I yelling? I hate the very slight color change of this test kit. It makes me feel inadequate, crazy, and color blind.

probably a good move. salifert, seachem, elos, and API all have pretty good test kits available. they are the 4 kits that you hear the best reviews about online.
