![]() I use Hanna for P04, but you don't need an expensive kit for N03. I just use API, and N03 shows up pretty well if it is present.

![]() I think I may have the same problems as U. At first I thought it was aefw as well but it was not. I was having rtn on my sps. Mainly targeting my millis. I stopped dosing vinegar and vodka and that seemed to have stopped the rtn. My mag was a lil low at around 1050 so I dosed it up to 1350 currently and 2 more milli colony is starting to STN. I believe these problems r caused by stressing in changes of water chemistry but not sure. Try stopping ur carbon dosing n see what happens. Also what are ur parameters at?

![]() Write the date on it when you buy it and chuck it out in a year. IME, that's about when they start losing their accuracy. For $8, you can buy a new one every year.

![]() So it's been a week. I was out of town and I am happy to report the large turaki colony looks better. By better I mean the tissue appears thicker and healthier. The tips that have died now have algae and it is slowly populating the dead areas.
Picked up a chiller (thanks Ryan). Bought a API nitrate test kit. I'm somewhere between 2-5 ppm for NO3. So not to bad but could be better. Test PO4 tomorrow and Alk/Ca. |
