Everything I have received from wwc was about the same sg and alk. No matter when I ordered it.

Great thing about them, customer service. Call them in the morning and they will tell you what sg and alk the stuff is.
Broken down gumby style..

That's because I need to make sure they match mine, and I would do What if either was different? That means a slower drip acclimation to my tanks water while holding at the same temp?

Everything will be coming from WWC Orlando. I know there are a bunch of tables but I don't know if it's all one system.
Definitely worth asking. But I would also assume that they run most systems at the same parameters.

Basically you want to drip them to be very close to your tank. You can occasionally remove some water from the container to help speed up the process.

Typically, I put only enough water to cover the coral in a tub I use for acclimation. I then setup my drip and roll on. Every so often, I remove some water from the tub. After about 30 minutes I test the alk. If it is close, into the qt tank they go after using the water I acclimated them in for their dips and rinses.

The Hannah reef kit is great. You have to be all setup for calcium before testing though lol.

Or just do Hanna alk, salifert calcium, Hanna phosphate (not the ulr one), salifert No3 and the salifert magnesium if you are feeling froggy lol.

Even all salifert for the 5 tests is fine. I do like my Hanna alk though. Super easy and no math lol.

What did it mean you need to be set up for it before testing?

Looking good...some places have the pack where you can save a few bucks on the Hannah testers.

We have a red sea phos, nitrate, cal, and alk back up just to verify in uncertain times.

I was more wondering if it would be smart to put the rainbow bta 4" coming tomorrow, up by the other anenome at the top right. I took away an anenome next to it that had been there for 3 years. Hoping for it to stay somewhere visible.

I'd love to have it right in the middle center, but doubt it would stay and don't want it walking all over creation
