How about PH?As far as i know salinity has no bearing on nitrate testing. And id assume its already off the charts for normal teating which is more than high enough.

Im not sure on thatHow about PH?
Hanna test kits are a bit different, but red sea tests recommend rodi dilution for high range testsMy Hanna HI782 didn't work with freshwater. More testing pending when I have more time this weekend though.
An ico test would not help with nitratesYou said you had an ICP test done prior to dosing nopox. Can you share the results with us?
I’m. Not sure this is the case for values 800x the norm. But this is extremely interestingHanna test kits are a bit different, but red sea tests recommend rodi dilution for high range tests
Some ICP tests show nitrates. Even if it doesn’t, I would be interested to see how other elements are without a water change in 8 years.An ico test would not help with nitrates
My Nitrate reached 800 ppm while my Phosphate was at 1.4 ppm. At those numbers I had no issues in the tank, no algae or sign of stress on the fish. So I randomly decided to test NoPox from RedSea to see how that can help me replace my GFO and Bio-Pellet with just dosing the NoPox. I know with those high numbers, my reactors were not doing much but something inside my head wanted to try NoPox. I started dosing NoPox gradually increasing to the recommended dose. After about a week, I started seeing some red algae (Cyano Maybe?) growing exponentially and now I see Fish and other corals are fully stressed and declining in health. I am planning to stop dos
Dude... when you said 800ppm I expected the tank to be infested with algae , pests , corals hanging on for dear life .Sure.. Here are some from a few months ago:
I don’t think the SG matters for Nitrate test. Usually Nitrate tests are the same for Fresh and Saltwater but I can definitely try diluting with 0 Nitrate saltwater..K ... have an issue with this. You used RO/DI for this ... this is going to drop the specific gravity to one tenth of it's correct value. I am pretty sure that this is going to be problem for the test.
Mix fresh salt water and dilute using that. Then come back with the number. I am willing to bet the number will be lower.
PH was always at 8.2. Alk at 8 and Calcium at 500ppm. After NoPox, PH seems to be down to 7.8 ~ 8.How about PH?
Sure. I’ll do when I get back home.You said you had an ICP test done prior to dosing nopox. Can you share the results with us?
Correct, ICP test did not include Nitrate.An ico test would not help with nitrates
When you add RO to salt water you lower the PH. That was the point of that comment.PH was always at 8.2. Alk at 8 and Calcium at 500ppm. After NoPox, PH seems to be down to 7.8 ~ 8.
