So down at least 12 due to red sea. They owe me money

I use both Hanna and Salifert when I test

What made you stop ab÷

It was one of the things that I think helped cause an outbreak of algae(but not the only one) several months ago. I’m holding onto it cause it’s crazy expensive and who knows maybe I’ll retry it sometime, but in much smaller doses.

I dont understand the statement. Your alk is down to 12? Or up to 12? Thought it was 9.8? Confused...

 

[robanister]

It's 9.8 now. It was 12 on sun morning when I got new hanna reagent and new tropic Marin test kit.

Red sea said it was at 8.21 dkh at 12 dkh

@SBB Corals , Shane got those perimeters or to busy with RAP Cali and auctions.

Just shoot for
Alk 8s
Calcium 420-480
Mag 1350-1500
P04 .05-.12ish
N03 10-30

There's a wide range of number that will work
Preferably somewhat close to what salt ypu use if you do regular water changes. Figure out what you tank consumes and dose accordingly

Well I put a sacrificial zoa frag in with my file fish, it was fine for a few days, then the power outage, and today it's nip nip nip. So he ain't going in my 75... .

Make your changes slow and plan for a future of better testing and success will follow. I test all the time even though I know what my numbers are already. Every now and then I catch either a bad test or something off and I can make a correction because its caught quickly.

But you still need to test alk because of growth and adjust again right.

I test alk almost every day. It's not necessary but I do it anyways. It's just a fail safe for me

 

[billyocean]

The other readings pretty much fall in line if my alk is right..but that's because it's all dialed in. Every 3 or 4 days I'll test p04...every week or so n03 and calcium. Every couple weeks mag

 

[Thuan]

Just test mine. I keep my alk around 7.5-7.7, and it works for me
7.5 alk
430 cal
1350 mag
20N03
10P04
