Hi everyone,
I don't keep a reef yet but I've been researching it for about a month now. I'll set one up once we know if we'll need to move cities next Summer. I've kept freshwater tanks and bred freshwater shrimp, and I've found that I'm really sensetive/allergic to certain water tests like the API freshwater Nitrate test. To breed neocaridina shrimp only takes a few tests, but I found alternatives that don't have a respiratory hazard, which seems to work for me.
Just wondering if anyone can share similar experiences on the reefing side of the hobby and has found test kits or checkers that no respiratory hazards.
edit: For example, the Hanna Ca checker's Safety Data Sheet is labeled for respiratory risk, but the Red Sea calcium test kit is only corrosive with no respiratory risks.
