How do you test your parameters? Do you use digital monitors, like Pinpoint, or do you do it the old fashion way with test tubes and chemicals?

Thanks Catherine I'm glad you like it.
I do my testing (and I hate to admit this) only occasionally and use old school test kits, test tubes & chemicals, etc. Over time one gets to know their system and what it uses and requires so I generally test no more than once every 2-3 months. I will test if I think there is a problem but then again I also have some corals that act like a "canary in a coalmine" so if they look distressed I know that a particular element is low or high and then correct it.
