I’ve been getting faster and prepping everything before I zero it. The first couple of times I did it, it auto shut off right when I was putting the vial in after shaking for 2 mins. Yeah, that took me a while to figure out lol

I like how accurate they all are, but the phosphate test is a tad annoying. Have to swirl the reagents in the vial for 2 minutes, but then the checker times out and turns off, and you have to get a second vial with water to re zero it

Wish I knew this sooner lol!

I’ve been slowly collecting all of the hanna tests

I’ll try the video, havent heard of that method before!

I shoo’ed one into it, it touched the tentacle, but didnt get the hint lol

A few posts ago I posted alk and nitrate. I hadnt been testing calc since the test had a bit more steps, and I wanted to conserve tests until my alk started moving. Now that my alk is moving, I’ll test it and post with everything else

The promised FTS! Also, been having some problems with the first rbta that I got. As soon as I added the black widow, the original one started shrinking towards the end of my daily light cycle. Read it might be chemical warfare/ releasing nematocysts in the water. Just started running carbon to...

WOW, today I learned! Interesting that the rain water is combined with sewage, absolutely crazy that they release it untreated! I don’t understand how that can happen in a california city lol

Do you have a sump pump for a basement or something? All of the ones I have used were small portable ones that you connect a garden hose to

Great question, but I think you nailed it, depends where it discharges

I should have specified, I meant one of the extra return pumps that you have. But I’d imagine if you have a manifold, you could tee off of it for a waste line

It’s always nice to have a drain nearby for AWC that you can tap into directly. Maybe mark your sump for a set gallonage of what you want to change out, so you can turn your return pump on to pump out your waste water

Yeah, I’m not in a rush to lower them, just a bit surprised by how high they were! No skimmer or socks on this tank, thought I would try out a no physical filtration sort of build on this tank. I just have a fuge for now. I do have some smaller skimmers I could use if I wanted to. And I almost...

Phosphate checker came in today, and I was in for a surprise! Ran a test, was surprised by the results, ran another test, was surprised by the results again, so I thoroughly read the directions and watched a video on how to use the checker, and realized I missed the part about waiting 3 minutes...

I had just finished mixing all of my water, when my girlfriend said she wanted to go out lol. So water change is delayed until after we get back. I’ll post a fts soon. Also, my frags are kind of everywhere rn since the black widow is happy for a week or 2, and then starts bee lining it for all...

Been letting the tank mature, wanted to give it time to see when alk would drop, and how parameters would change, without touching it much. Picked up a walling bubble coral last week, was a really good deal and I’ve always wanted one. Adjusted very well and looks great! Also picked up 2 hammers...
