Tube 3 is 3 drops of Kh and tube 4 is 5 drops of Gh.
What does this mean?? And did I do it right?
Should it be brigher yellow/green?
(Ignore the first two tubes – I was testing nitrites and ammonia in cycling tank)

Kh is low, are you going for a lower Ph tank if so, having a low Kh will allow you to drop the Ph in the tank. If that’s not your goal then you need to find a way to buffer the tank since the Kh is low enough to make the Ph easy to fluctuate in the tank. Gh is General hardness which measure Calcium and Magnisum in the tank. you have Gh at 89 ppm, so soft water.
These parameters don’t mean anything until you know what you want to keep in the tank. So you might want to figure out what livestock you want to keep and adjust accordingly.
