Ive been planning a reef build... i use to have a softy tank but i took it down since I moved but I’m planning a nano tank sps dominant which I know are a little less forgiving,
Back to my question wether you have Hanna checkers or any other test kits how do you guys clean the tubes, I use to rinse them with RODI water but I feel like that’s not really sanitizing it which could affect my results. How do you guys sanitize and wash your test kits, viniger rinse, pipe cleaners, maybe you soak your pipe cleaners in viniger after this has probly been asked before if it has link me but if you guys wanna give your tips thatd be awsome

Tap water for me unless I have some extra RODI to spare.

My ATO gravity feeds and sits on top of a shelf. I Tee'd it and have an extra valve so i get RODI on demand.

Rinse in ro & dry then stored in the original box .
@eggplantparrot I like the Ro on tap idea. I have an older Mag bottle withe squeeze cap. I store ro in. I fill up when I make water.
