Florine hanna checker

[M5 Dan]

Hi has anyone used one of these or know if they are suitable for marine use ?

they check in ppm yet my icp company tests in ug/l

would come in handy if possible as my Florine seems to deplete between tests even tho dosing

any help appreciated

thanks Dan

why would you be checking for fluorine? My answer would be 'no'

Because it’s depleted within 4 weeks between icp after correcting an ideally want to monitor it without icp

I would humbly suggest- you read the sticky the asks the questions you should answer. Frankly - no one - besides a guess here has a clue

I'm guessing it's just being used in a form as a substitute for calcium carbonate, whereby it may just fit in or be able to be used but is not necessary (or its just being shoved somewhere by the coral). Same with strontium in corals (some other critters use strontium though for known reasons)

Ok - I didnt see this - I would contact the testing company you used - and ask them:

1. Is the result in my tank significant
2. If So - what can I do to remedy it

IMHO- 1. No 2. nothing except using water changes.
floride is not your problem - so I would humbly suggest I a non-issue

It definitely seeing possitive results when dosing it , I’ve got quite a lot of frags in a few frag trays attached to the system .

Particularly palawensis seem to grow much thicker around the rim even noticeable a few days after during the Florine dosing ( I am slowly dripping over a course of weeks )

if it helps tank is :

4000 L mixed reef
I’d say it’s full stocked mainly sps
running 2 deltec pf1001calcium reactors
(1is 24hr other daylight hours )
Full of arm course.
Kalk stirrer (on timer , minimal dosing)

Mg 1370-1400
Ca 450
Kh 8.3-8.6
Po4 0.015 (elos hr)
No3 10-15
Sr (also depletes quite often as low as 3/4) manual daily dosing between icps .
