Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
0.03 is the allowable testing error on the Hanna ULR I believe.
That's my understanding. I usually start feeding (even) more if I see it go that low. I haven't seen how the new Reef Jerky regimen is affecting N03 and PO4, yet. Perhaps I should add that to my Monday goals.
 
Luis,
0.03 is the allowable testing error on the Hanna ULR I believe.
it seems like we are having some translation issues. If these tests are all on the Hanna checkers, I recommend you take a photo of result, when it was taken and post here.

Just a thought
 
What's up y'all?

Quiet Sunday my friend until I had to go to the doctor with the little one but nothing serious, he just got something in his eye and just in case we took him in, but the doctor says he has nothing, what he has is the feeling that one gets afterward

We are going to party like it’s 1999. I’m definitely getting some Cuban food when I’m there. Are you in Joel?
 
I know I posted this before but our new friends have not seen it. These three words were Joel’s first post on this thread that created 876 pages and a lot of friendships.
