I have enough chemicals to last me a fair bit still ... perhaps we'll have some feedback from a few others before I need to pull the trigger! Any updates on posting the results Ray? |

so we had a quick meeting and we have decided that posting the chart was a bad idea. I have removed it.
Why, you ask? :-) Well a couple of reasons. - it caused confusion and panic. We received 5 phone calls and 3 emails from clients wanting to know if the stuff they had been using in their tanks was on the list and how all their coral and fish were going to die! As I said in my first post, these are ALL well know manufactures that we have ALL been using for years. Just because Manufacture A has a lithium reading of 28.7 and Manufacture B has a reading of 6.8, does it mean that A is bad for your tank? - A colleague called asking why our silicate was so high at 7445. I replied with "did you know that the 2-part you have been selling for the past 5 years has a reading of 19014"? "Does that make it bad...any clients complain"? How high is too high? The purpose off the test was to determine what product has the lowest organics and NPOC. The lower the readings the better. FWIW: High organics can cause cyano outbreaks. When you use a "reef salt" that is high in trace elements and you use an organic rich 2-part you can cause a cyano outbreak. Not too mention all the other stuff we are dosing. Too many trace elements. It's like the newbie who starts dosing "coral food" and follows the directions on the bottles only to end up dosing 6-7 different products daily. He will end up with an organics overload causing a cayno outbreak. In closing, the chart was a mistake on my part. I should have never posted it nor mentioned it. It all boils down to trust, you need to trust the store you are doing business with. Those of you who have worked with us know that we are in it for the long haul and we will continue to offer you the best possible product and service. thanks, Ray Last edited by Reef Supplies; 10-31-2013 at 06:30 PM.

Do you have any reference for the concentration of your product when mixed to your specifications?
The product I use now, I know that 1ml of solution, will raise the calcium level in 1 gallon of water by 10 ppm. (obviously you need to test to get your particular dosing right, I'm basically trying to associate a Dollar Value to each ml of solution after mixed) I'm trying to figure out the value of the concentration. I don't want to switch to a different bulk chemical, if the concentration is lower to the point that its going to take me 3ml to make the same change in my water. I use a ton of solution in my current SPS tank, and its not only about value, but how long my 5 gallon pail of solution will last at my current dosing rates. |

I just wish there was a chart for the values of the product or a calculator that shows Cal and Alk increases per ml. |
