Excellent thanks for sharing. I can't wait to get home and try it on my IPAD instead of writing the info on my calendar LOL :cool:;)
Can this be used for multiple tanks as well or?

Actual average ocean alk is 6.5 but we typically use 7 for reefing.
Here is my source for the data I used

6-8 is it's average reef measurements I assume there's some fluctuations

And it suggested 8-12dkh is what's I found on many sites so that's what I went with

You may want to look into scientific papers, or even do a search here, for your info rather than a place that sells fish.
The ocean is a big place and the average is not 6-8.
Yes you can run a tank at different levels, and
our tanks may vary by that, much but the ocean does not.
Check your facts.

I never claimed it to be fact, I simply referenced where I obtained my data and did multiple searches and that's all I could find sadly I don't have a degree to be able to decode scientific papers or where to find them, while I appreciate your feedback it would be nice if you could reference your source for this value you have obtained

It's the best I could find, if you can source anything from any scientific body I will spend time to read it and adjust my values accordingly

I never claim to know anything for certain there's always the risk of incorrect data testing ect, I just go with what I believe untill something seems more logical and conclusive to change my views

Nice of you and nice layout.
A little concern though. There are recommended readings which can cause issue.

Examples:
SHOULD BE . . . .
temp 77-79
salinity 1.024-1.026
PH 8.1- 8.3
Alk 8-9
CA 440
Ammonia < .03
