So you think in an hour so it’ll give you same results as next day (not feeding tank)I test next day, typically. But if I'm concerned about a parameter being off, I will test in an hour or so.
No, I only test in an hour if I'm concerned about something. Then I will test again the next day just to make sure I took care of the issue properly.So you think in an hour so it’ll give you same results as next day (not feeding tank)
Got cha!No, I only test in an hour if I'm concerned about something. Then I will test again the next day just to make sure I took care of the issue properly.
Otherwise, I test next day only.
What’s the benefits of checking before wc, how can you know what’s changing after the wc?I use to check right before my weekly water changes. Now I just test alk, n03, p04 weekly and mag n calcium about 1 a month….no water changes.
Exactly as @Dbichler stated. It was also easier for me to gauge how much water I was gonna change based on where my nutrients n alk sat. Primarily we change water for nutrient export. Once you hit a target number you tweak how much you take out by testing before and at least 24 hrs later to measure change. Once I found sweet spot it just made sense for me to test before. Also, Some times you find that a wc isn’t necessary when you test before.What’s the benefits of checking before wc, how can you know what’s changing after the wc?
Well since you put it this way, it actually makes sense haha, It’s a still a new tank 5 months old so I’m tying to get a trend started I guess lolExactly as @Dbichler stated.
