AC now has an Aquaspin!

[ofzakaria]

you can if you don't have enough nitrifying bacteria that eats up nitrites... stating the obvious but... Ammonia -- > Nitrite --> Nitrate... insert relevant respective bacterial colony where the arrows are...

but that should be acompanied with high Po4 and No3 then..no?

but that should be acompanied with high Po4 and No3 then..no?

not necessarily,.. PO4 is an independent process... there's not P in ammonia. plus if you have GHA and other, they can suck up both PO4 an NO3... so you can be reading 0 on both but GHA and junk everywhere...

I notice the test result on @Rostato does not test Salinity. Do AC test salinity, too?

How much sample water does this thing need? Planning a trip to AC this Saturday.

Per Joe of AC mentioned a shot glass full would be good but also mentioned the more is good too. Keep us posted .

I was at Neptune yesterday and I think they charge $10 for theirs.

Just stop by AC earlier today and did the APISpin test. Only question I have and kind of a big gap is my Alk reading. I have been test every other day and it’s reading between 8-8.5 but spin test said it’s in the 10 range. And no4 is correct if move 1 decimal spot to the right according what they said at the earlier post. Now just need to have a fellow reefer close by to cross reference the DKH reading.

 

[Rostato]

I dunno. My dkh was spot on.

 

[Coral2Coral]

I’m hoping my reading is correct, as that’s the range I’m keeping at.

 

[Rostato]

What test kit do you use?

 

[Coral2Coral]

Hannah.

 

[Rostato]

Yeah I’d hope it’s accurate. That’s what I use.

 

[Finnaddict]

I think its stuck on 10.1 LOL. I had some water tested on Saturday. My Hannah tests 8.8-9 and they read a 10.1

 

[Coral2Coral]

If that’s true, that’s a lot of off variables for a $1200 dollar machine.

 

[NanoCrazed]

When was last time you calibrated your hannam

 

[Coral2Coral]

That’s a good question, I don’t think I ever calibrated it. I have been using it since out of the box about 1 1/2 years ago. Don’t know you could calibrate it.

 

[Finnaddict]

i calibrate mine frequently and usually come up in the middle of their acceptable levels.

 

[Coral2Coral]

Will look into calibrating it. Thanks.

 

[ashburn2k]

I had someone test my water at ac, and it was off for me.

Just about everything is off. Not sure if it’s even my water.

I even recalibrate my trident and tested against a redsea test kit. It’s in line with trident

It seems that thing is all over place, thought it’s a good service to go to when own results are in doubt.
