    Time to dose Nitrate?

    Good evening reefers Test results as of tonight 12/15/16: SG: 1.025 Nitrate: 0 ppm Phos: 0 ppm Ammonia: 0 ppm Calc: 400 ppm DkH: 12-13 So I am currently dosing Kent Purple Tech to bring up my calcium levels. I am hoping that the high DkH is being caused by that, I am not sure what else could...

    Another CA test gone bad

    I've read about others experiencing this but didn't give it much thought as I go through my tests well before their expiration date. My "old" -- less than 1 yr -- was off by 170 ppm. It was giving me a reading of 400 when I was really closer to 570. That got me to thinking, how many have...

    Dosing help!

    My favorite most helpful LFS closed and I'm having some issues with dosing calcium and alkalinity on my own! I dose a 2 part daily in my reef tank. My alkalinity is at 8.5 dKH (right where I want it) but my calcium blew up to over 500 ppm! I need to lower my calcium (I'd like to hit the 400...

    ProfiLux and monitoring Alkalinity and other things ...

    Hi with the announcement of the P4 we also mentioned that Alkalinity and measurement of other parameters (e.g. Ca) are coming soon. Personally I didn't expect that much of feedback and interest in these planned new features for the ProfiLux, actually I wasn't aware that this is something...

    Saltmix Parameters bring on the test results

    There was an excellent thread put together quite some time ago now by Billybeau1 and hilgert. I've referred to it may times to see if someone is close to the expected values of a particular saltmix. There can of course be slight variations and if any settling has occurred in the mix before use...

    The Many Methods for Supplementing Calcium and Alkalinity

    There is no aspect of reef aquarium chemistry more important than calcium and alkalinity. Many of my previous articles have described various aspects of these systems in detail. In reading those articles, aquarists will note one pervasive theme: that maintaining appropriate levels of each are...
