How often do you test your major elements, Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium?

If we are being 100% very seldom, I've found that rather then chasing numbers if I stay consistent with what I do everything is better off

The consensus seems to be to test once a week. But use your judgment!

1. Did you just add an algae turf scrubber? Maybe you should test your phosphates and nitrates more often,
2. Did you just jump on the ammonia bandwagon? Maybe leave that Hanna tester on the counter,
3. Have your parameters been the same (+/- a couple of %) for a couple of weeks? Take a week of.

That one is an easier question. Weekly, every Wednesday.

Bah! I LIKE to think I'm that organized!

 

[SueAubu]

Didn’t realize TG did free shipping during live sale events

This just might kill me

I have to MOVE I should NOT be BUYING coral

Actually, I guess I owe you one for POTO... Just picked up my first scoly without needing to work an overtime day.

Around once a month if I remember. More if I changed something or the tank is showing signs of something being different

We could blame him for anything, good OR bad. (He has great advice, so nods to that, bad influence aside.)

Oh..... And.....

Alk and Ca 2x a week to be sure dialed in well. Magnesium once a month if I’m not doing an ICP

Me too. Dang. Have time today, not tomorrow. Oh well.

 

[Oredigger77]

Definitely looking forward to this sale. I did think it was starting today though.

 

[pwfess]

Following the sale but no buying this time. Just bought the sky blue indo hammer and that was a monthly allotment for me. It’s currently acclimating and quite pretty!

Very rarely. I set up all for reef and I test every once in a while to adjust dosing
