I think I have the same test kit as you... Hagen. They recommend a really low level for KH but most people keep it at a higher level then what they recommend. Here is a calculator I have found that has helped me out a lot...

130 ppm is on the bottom of what I would reccommend. Most people understand alkalinity when measured in degrees of carbonate hardness or dKH even though there are several units to measure it in. I prefer to have my alk around 9-9.5 dKH.
Take a read through the guides in my signature on hair algae and chemicals. They should help answer a lot of your questions.
