Hi everyone I need some help. I tested my ph and it says 7.6 and my DKH is 7.4. I did the cup test and the water read ph 8.2. I did a water change today and the mixed water read DKH 13. I took a picture and quick vid is this enough for water agitation, if not how would I increase it. Problem is I have no other test kits to measure calc or mag and my ph test kit is out of date but the cup test did shock me.

The alkalinity was fine at 7 dKH .
the cup experiment was with inside air or outside air?

Try with inside air too. That will tell you if you just need more aeration, or if you also need lower C02 air.
