How often do you test?

I was fixated on red cyano and ignored the nitrate buildup that I could see happening but was fixated on the red cyano. Could of testing caught it...most definitely and I paid the price for it but then that's the breaks.

I understand the risks involved as does any other reefer and have made a conscious choice to not be diligent with my testing and if it crashes nobody to blame but myself and if it doesn't then even better

I check the big 3 every week, po4 once a monthish, mag gets checked when I do a water change and manually tune it up if required, that's about it. Hey Warren finally got the Hydor ATO going works well in the RSM 250 ended up using a Rio 600 pump, seems to all work well.

Good to hear Laurie, it's not a bad little ATO!
