Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It also doses. Aquaspin all over the place in my opinion. My lfs has it and its off for me. I don't fully dose with it yet only toping off neg dosing.
It’s off but I calibrate it to where I need to be and it’s fine . So if I know it’s reading something and I’ve tested it twice at two locations then I mark it down . So if it reads say phos is at 2. And I’ve checked with two places and I know it to say 1 then I know that there 2 is actually 1 .
 
I haven’t seen it before and I’m like amazed with all the info that I never had . Makes me want to start with goni’s again .
Go for it CB. Start slow and learn what works for you! I've been seeing some more reasonably priced goni frags around lately.
 
I like how it gives you the year . That’s cool !
That's what I always look for in a good parameter test. My alkalinity is low, but at least it's still 2026! 😂

I’ve always liked the dark red ones but yes eventually . I have to get my water right .

So I'm dosing 6 ml an hr and 2 ml is .01 ml meaning I'm consuming between 0.3 and .04 dkh an hr!
