Ohh wow, that's great news. I bet the tester strips we had were garbage. Woohoo!

wow I was always told that it did from my lfs. thanks for the clarification tho,
Well like someone else said you could add some crushed coral in your filter, I used to do that before I got the live sand and it worked well also,
Does lace rock add hardness without pH buffering or is lace rock inert? It is sold locally as a water-hardening device.
i'm voting on crushed coral. However, as everyone is saying consistency is key. so i'd avoid chemicals because its much harder to be consistant, where as crushed coral and some rock work will raise your ph naturally like it is in their wild habitat. also, mbuna prefer the sand, and making your fish happy is most important!

Any specific recommendations on which one to get? Probably doesn't matter too much?
pretty sure it is inert. That is what I have noted. Of course my water is so hard I would not notice the difference of hardness. Ph it does not change.
