I thought my nitrates were bottomed out so I was actually dosing and then my friend Hanna said I was at 30! My phosphates are pretty low but I need a more accurate test kit than the one I have. I think they're around .25 but I need a ULR. I was looking at the Nyos. Thoughts?


The only phosphate test I’ve used is the ULR Hanna. It is one of the must have Hanna checkers IMO.

Is it bad that I use the regular hanna phosphate checker? Not the ULR one...

Ok IG hate me or someone hacked my account. The orig account I had has been blocked for "unacceptable content" I have tried to open a new account with every email I have and none will create a new account. So I think they have tagged my IP addy for some weird reason. Any tech savvy people know how to work around this? or get a new account set up?
If you think it's your ip run it through a VPN and it will change. I doubt that is the case though.

You just lose some accuracy. It’s likely still fine unless your phosphate is close to 0

ETA, I just looked it up the ULR is accurate to .02 while the normal one is accurate to .04

Work machine runs through a VPN so that's likely why I could set up a new one with no issues. Tried on my regular personal connection and nothing worked.

Glad you got it fixed up. At least we know you will be able to enter the drawing now. :)

I only have one SBB mushroom it’s kinda tucked away in a corner of the tank where I don’t notice it very much. I may try and take a pic of it tomorrow if I have time.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
