...whether hydrometer is new (used ones should be cleaned/rinsed after each use and sitting with clean water in it or else can give false reading). Also was refractometer calibrated? Refractometer's body temp also affects reading, so I always keep mine in the 1F vs basement where tank is. If...

Yes.. but you can change that from putting the min and max the same #.

Oops did a quick search on it and used the found #. Should have known better xr15 is 95 ish Watts and one "puck" . I'll blame it on holiday cheer., No good excuse..

The Ultra low p and alk have been. The rest red sea or salifert is a toss up imo. The Hannah's aren't necessary I just like the digital because alk is a pain running a liquid test on imo. Phosphate is the boogeyman so I like to have a digital #. Either of the liquid tests will serve you well.

Zoas/palys dominated tank. I would say halk of my polyps have doubled in #. As a reefer....from trial and error.... I would say: .... to be successful you have to learn the ART of Husbandry then translate it into your own personal SCIENCE

Id ask whomever i sold it to for the #. Most places make you send the broken item back.

Looking good. Don’t kill yourself over the PH #. It’s going to flux based on weather, time of day, etc. I like the current products so good there with me :D Keep updating as continue stocking

Look up Miguel Hurtado clownfish. I don’t know if he is selling them direct or through store right now. Call the #.

DONT CHANGE YOUR BB! Your BB removes a multitude of deadspots where uneaten food decomposes into NO3/PO4 pH is a stupid number to chase. Many many many posts verify this.... As long as your above 7.7, dont even give that pH number a second thought. Heck your pH probe might be giving you false...

Also got 4 blue chromis (1arrived dead) and a diamond spot goby. Stopped by Petco to see if they had another little chromis because I want an odd #. Ended up getting 5! Now I have 9 of them. They are all under an inch. I’m expecting a few losses. Stocking list on the 1st post is updated.

I reported this issue on a thread titled "Hannah Alkalinity Refill inaccurate" in 2018. I fact, I opened a bottle of new reagent last night and tested. It was showing 7.7 DKH. I have been running at around 8.4. Cross checked with the Salifert and it read 8.4. All I know is the reagent is...

sorry posted to wrong thread.

Can you post a link to it or name and model #. Very interested. Thanks!

I'll send you a PM and the Main order #. I can't seem to find a way to edit the shipment date on the first order that set it for the lot. Thank you for your assistance!!

Evening all, Not to stir the pot but I just ordered from MD. Hoping it is not a new change. The last ship I got was a few months ago. It was free shipping and arrived within a day 2. It was $1100 in lights and supplies. It did ship with 4 different tracking #. I looked back on all the tracking...

...and have for a long time with no problems ICP test have been good in the past other then nutrients and Li (pretty much high in everyones systems). I’ve gone thru 4-5 buckets through since this started I would think they would be from a different lot #. It’s just the past 4-6 weeks this has...

Not sure where you are getting salts at 13dkh. Most are not. What brand do you use? I agree with everyone about cutting back on dosing. Small water change, cut back on dosing, and let it drift back down to your preferred # . GL

Go slow, I’d suggest leaving it be. You run the risk of a cyano or worse, a Dino outbreak if you strip the phosphates to chase a low #. And that will be a much more painful problem to solve!

Thank you! If you want to PM me your email address that would be very helpful. I just did a test and as soon as you send us an email, a ticket is automatically created and an email is sent back to you with the ticket #. You may want to check your spam/junk folders to see if you got any replies...

Really broad question with too many factors. I dont think theres a specific number you could say "this is a budget build bc its under <blank ammount> and this isnt because it's over. " I'd say anything you could do for under cost of buying everything brand new could be considered a budget...
