Salifert or Hanna. This is a difference maker when getting false results.I am using API and you are not the first or second person to say that. What kit should I use?

Beautiful! I love it! I wanted to start small to learn and play it safe. I want a bigger tank now lol but, probably gana wait a year or two until I get a really good grasp.Here is my 46 gallon bowfront that was about 4-5 years old until I upgrade to 75 last November.
#2 from last month.
meaning , when depending on API and he receives what he thought were accurate numbers, getting reliable kits will change everything when he is closer to real values when testingWhat do you mean?
Thanks. It has taken a few years to grow. Don't get crabs! I got rid of all my hermits for destroying my branching monti, the only sps coral I could grow at the time. they would climb up and break branches off, I would remove them and the next day they are back and brought along some guests. Well I gave up and as I remove them sent them back to my LFS for credit. I have maybe 200 snails and will be getting 80 more this week from ReefCleaners.com, They have a great selection. Most are so small, 1/8" and some are bigger.Beautiful! I love it! I wanted to start small to learn and play it safe.

Get a small in tank UV sterilizer with built in pump, will clear up algae blooms in water column. Carbon will not. I have mine in my sump now and run it when main lights are off, 12 hours a day. I have the in tank type for my 75 gallon fresh and only use it on rare occasions, will raise water temp if run 24/7.Hey all, new to saltwater reef tanks. All my parameters are good or so i think. Im using the api test kits (ph is 8.4, ammonia is 0ppm, nitrite is 0ppm, nitrate is 0ppm, calcium is 480, and alk is 8dkh). My has been cycling for 3 months. Its 30 gal cube. I have a protein skimmer and a media reactor with gfo and activated carbon. I have two clownfish and 4 corals. My question is two are really happy one is a green star (looks like really green grass) and the happy one is a zoa. The other two im not sure both are soft corals though. The other two closed and wont open. I do have an algae bloom right now. Any ideas? Ill attach some pics. I have 13 new corals coming tomorrow aswell. I probably jumped the gun on the new corals.
Ill look at that. The wife will kill me if i keep buying stuff for this tank lol!Get a small in tank UV sterilizer with built in pump, will clear up algae blooms in water column. Carbon will not.
