Do you all need me to make that portion optional?

I was under the assumption that everyone tested for the "Big Three" at least once a month to maximize their growth and tune their dosing.

Optional

Optional

i feel like as time goes on over the year less people are gonna post there parameters. might be asking a lil too much. ill post mine but I gotta trident so its easy.

 

[BranchingHammer]

I think optional may be the best route to go, considering some people might not have current readings if they are out of town/already took a picture, etc. Definitely cool if people post it each month, though. Might provide insight on different growth tanks and parameter levels.

I just received my box

What is the stand for? @StatelineReefer

Neat little souvenir, measurement standardizer, and temporary holding spot for acclimation to light.

The ruler should fit right into the shield there.

 

[StatelineReefer]

Parameters have been made optional, but I do still suggest submitting them, Not so much for the contest itself, but many people not participating currently could look back and say "this worked, and this didn't, and I can emulate that as a foundation for growth".

Can I still measure the old fashion way ? Or does it gotta be on this thing?

The old fashioned way still works, the stand is just a fun little extra.

I was under the assumption that everyone tested for the "Big Three" at least once a month to maximize their growth and tune their dosing.

I just got the remainder of my test kits, i test Nirate,phos,alk. This "inspired" me to start checking and start a doseing routine. Seems overwhelming all at first lol.

I really think so. I soaked one for a couple days right after I got them and as far as I can tell they are ok.
