Thanks. I test
Alkalinity daily but through KHG to automate test it for me, then run once a week Hanna KH test to double check KHG readings are correct. I also test
Salinity, Ca, Mg, K+ before and after water change, so either every week or every two weeks.
For
NO3 (Salifert) and
PO4 (Hanna ULR), I test once a week, but may test more if I change food sources or adding bioload (e.g. more fish).
Temperature, PH, ORP are just rely on Apex probe reading, no manual test involved.
For trace elements, I usually do NOT test them via test kit, but through coral performance. When coral color or grow went down side, I test
Cu, Iodine, Sr, Iron via Salifert test kits.
Haha, I do hope someone teach me coral growing and fragmentation, but usually end of reefers told me they can only teach me if a frag
in their tanks first. Haha
Here are some before and after photo while I cleaned my hard disc and found some old photos.
