I have had problems with sps, mainly acropora and wanted to make sure my test kits are not off and that certain levels of usually untested parameters were in check.
Here is my results.
Water Test Summary
Ammonia (NH3-4) 0.003 Good
Nitrite (NO2) 0.006 Good
Nitrate (NO3) 1.2 Good
Phosphate (PO4) 0.02 Good
Silica (SiO2-3) 2.1 High
Potassium (K) 431 Good
Calcium (Ca) 388 Good
Boron (B) 3.5 Good
Molybdenum (Mo) 0.1 Good
Strontium (Sr) 10.5 Good
Magnesium (Mg) 1363 Good
Iodine (I¯) 0.02 Low
Copper (Cu++) 0.01 Good
Alkalinity (meq/L) 3.24 Good
The only thing that is off by alot is the silica and iodine. I plan on getting a silica filter for my ro/di unit. I don't know what I will do with iodine, may add a few drops of lugols.
They have weekly, and monthly testing. I did the one time only test for 34.99
Just sharing, if you are not sure about your water or test kits, it is well worth the money. They sent me a box with 2 bottles to fill, then I put the 2 bottles in another box with a call tag on it. I just put it in the mail box.
