Post your results

[Keithcorals]

I think it would be nice to see a lot of results in one place for comparison.
If you wouldn't mind posting your results and a little info I think it might help all of use to recognize trends and problems that might be hard to see only looking at test results from one system.

1. Tank size
2. Salt/salts used
3. Additives dosed
4. Frequency of water changes
5. Triton test results

 

[Keithcorals]

1. 180 gallons total water volume
2. Red Sea coral pro
3. Aquavitro fuel, C-balance two part
4. 15-20% every 2-3 months

 

[Tweaked]

1. 150 gallons total water volume
2. Red Sea Regular

Good idea, I enjoy browsing one place to see many results.


1. Tank size

450 gallons system

2. Salt/salts used

Kent Reef Salt

3. Additives dosed

Seachem Reef Fusion 1 and 2
Vinegar
Kalk in the vinegar

Did do acropower steady for a few months.

I RUN PHOSGUARD, ALLOT OF IT. Reason for Aluminum?

4. Frequency of water changes

Rare, last was 100 gallons over 6 months ago.

5. Triton test results

I am addressing the low salinity, mag, etc pretty easily. The tin and lithium are of big concern for me. I have seen a steady decline in the coral. The most significant thing about the tank though is that i am battling some algae issues that are pretty extreme, phosguard is the only thing that can compete with my leaching rocks but possibly as a result i have high aluminum.

My thread on results here:

Love this realy cool!!!
but grant where is your P gone mate?

 

[Grant]

Well I only have 4 fish and only need to dose 0.2ml vodka a day to keep PO4 at zero. Denitrification bacteria is well established. Light feeding I guess. What do you think?

 

[Ehsan@triton]

Well it´s very low mate, I tested only one NSW test in Komode/flores lower the 3 ppb of P.
While there was still some life, I think a bit of P-Po4 is not to bad.
why don´t you add some fish?:smile:.
but if everything is allright don´t change a thing I would say.
I was just suprised as you normaly don´t get this low levels in an working reeftank to often...

And I also tested Richard Ross tank and he had a lot of PO4 in the ICP was over detection limit... so also his tank is a nice one.
As an research oriented man I need to say we need mor data.

All the best Ehsan

Richard's tank certainly is an interesting case of elevated phosphate (really high) not being an apparent problem, presumably because algae and perhaps zoox levels are held in check by other factors.

 

[gpwdr]

1. Tank size............................... 120
2. Salt/salts used........................ crystal seas bioassay
3. Additives dosed...................... kalkwasser, c02 calcium reactor, purple up, iodine
4. Frequency of water changes.... 5 gallons per week
5. Triton test results

Yes would be nice to find out more... I will ask him to send some more samples, of his own tank not the ones in the AOS. And possibly he will allow me to publish tem here ?!?.
I also had the possibility to test Waikiki Aq water... wich is also very interesting. will try to start posting them to so we can make up some theories together.
It´s realy cool for me to be able to share informations with you guys especialy with you Randy. :wink:
See you later need to do some work and fam is waiting.

All the best Ehsan
