Actually it's supposed to be more blood red

Red/Pink Seriatopora Hystrix.

Some have said that the Red Seriatopora Hystrix could be a Seriatopora caliendrum instead??

My 2nd picture has been identified as A. divericata maybe??

And my 'Humillis' some have said it could be Acropora samoensis?? Possible too as those two always looks similar to me

CONDUCTIVITY PROBE – Part II

CONDUCTIVITY PROBE "“ Part II

As I didn't want to reorder another conductivity probe, I decided to take matters into my own hand and try to exchange out the ports and see if it works"¦.!!

The port seems to work and I was able to calibrate the probe accordingly

Cross checks it with my refractometer and the readings seem to be spot on. I'm so please it works as I was taking the risk of cutting up a brand new port!!

 

[melev]

That's incredible! I can't believe that worked, and am really happy for you.

 

[Ed Reef]

Thanks Marc - I was pretty please it work too!!


Love today's avatar !!

 

[melev]

Me too.

I like what you've done with the controller. I need to figure out how to do that with mine.

 

[Ed Reef]

Why?? You got the wrong connector like me Greg?

WATER PARAMETER UDPATES…..

WATER PARAMETER UDPATES"¦..

And did my weekly 10% WC and check my water params as below:

"¢ Temperature "“ 26.3 degree C (light off)
"¢ Salinity Gravity "“ 34.5ppt
"¢ pH "“ 7.97 (light off)
"¢ NO3 "“ 0.00 (Salifert Test kit "“ same as last same)
"¢ PO4 "“ 0.00 (D&D Test kit "“ same as last week)
"¢ dKH "“ 7.0 (API test kit "“ drop from last week 8.5)
"¢ dKH "“ 6.0 (Elos test kit "“ up from last week 8.0)
"¢ Ca "“ 420 (Salifert test kit "“ same as last week)
"¢ Ca "“ 430 (Elos test kit "“ same as last week)
"¢ Mg "“ 1200 (Salifert test kit "“ down from last week 1260)
"¢ Mg "“ 1350 (Elos test kit "“ up from last week 1300)
"¢ Potassium "“390 "“ 400 range (Kz Test kit "“ same as last week)


Odd this week my Salifert testkit for Mg is so much variance compare to my Elos kit?? Could be due expiry date I think!!

My dKH is a little low so will have to keep a close watch!! Will test again later in the evening when the lights are on (pH level goes up) and see if the dKH goes up??

Other params looks fine to me!

I had the same issue with my test kit for mag. as well.
I have a Salifert and Tropic Marine, I normally get between 80-100ppm variance between the two, being TM is the higher one. Both well within the due date.

It maybe a good ideal to go head and bring dkh up. Your corals maybe begin to use it up. While it not that low be easy to bring it back up.

Thanks Kevin - I need to find myself a TM testkit as my Salifert is close to expiry and I don't think I want to get another Salifert

[NexDog]

Yea, definitely need covers. Took me 4 years but I'm glad I have some finally.

 

[elijaher]

"Meanwhile still no sign of my Peppermint hog yet" I know that you work hard to get peppermint hog, we know the news is not good. Sorry Ed. Hope I'm not right.
