With all the hoop-la recently around Alkalinity monitoring what do you consider to be stability when it comes to your Alkalinity levels.
Think of the values as +/-.

I consider being within .5 being consistent ... ex
My alk is constantly bet 8.5 and 9 with my alkatronic .
It’s usually 9 , 8.8 ,8.6 , 8.5 the once it goes under 8.5 my alkatronic doses to get in back in range
I shoot for 7.8 to 8.1 using CaRx, GHL Kh Director and dose a little to help maintain this. Still dialing in my CaRx. So far all corals are happy with these numbers
Im ready for it!!!!! I passed on the Trident due to old school apex I have not being able to support it, so for GHL to have something like this in the works is nice.How pumped are you about that ion tester that’s on the horizon

I spoke to focustronic who makes the alkatronic and they’re going to have something in the works for the future

I asked him if focustronic had any plans to make an ion based testing system similar to what Ghl is coming out with. I already have a alk monitoring system so the GHL or Abex won’t work for me and I don’t like the trident muchWhat is this something?
Over what period of time? Per day? Per hour?
Funny... I'm doing a talk at a frag fest this weekend and I have a slide on this. I'll be converting the talk into a video -- hopefully soon.
I match my dosing specifically to my coral utilization. They are pretty stable -- but decline as expected over a months time. My assumption is that could be indicative of coral growth, but it could also arise from a small error in matching the dosing with utilization. The graphs below show my parameters -- measured with Red Sea test kits over the last two months. I had one month where I was distracted with writing a grant. I find that my magnesium measurements tend to have more variability then KH or Ca.
I think asking about stability in a daily time frame --- highly depends on the strategy used in dosing (ie. frequency and size of dosing). You can't really assess this without knowing how someone is dosing (this is also in my talk).
