Stop! Check your parameters!

[mr86mister]

Felt like getting everyone involved in a thread.

Let's post your parameters of your tanks. Let us know if it's a reef, fowlr, or frag. Just would be interesting to see how everyone is doing! If you have more parameters than I have go ahead and add them on! This is for fun purposes only:uzi:! Ask questions or state concerns:spin2:!!

34gal Solana Reef
Temp-77.8F
Salinity-1.026
Cal-420ppm
Alk-10.5dKH
Mag-1260ppm
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-5ppm

Nitrate-10ppm

5Gal FOWLR

LET'S HEAR THE REST OF YALL!

awww... I wanna be involved in this thread but there's no way I'm testing water parameters at 10:30PM on a Monday night! :spin2:

I can tell you that my Ca reactor effluent is at pH 6.72 and temp. is 82.2F but that's as far as I go!

 

[mr86mister]

LOL Gary. Well when you get a chance go ahead and post! I did forget to do pH!!! All tanks at 8.2.

We can let this continue on for the week so everyone can get on board!!

Calcium (360) Low
Alk 7dkh (low)
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-10>ughhh
Phosphate-? Running GFO in a reactor,Do not have a kit for phosphate at the moment

90 Gallon Reef with a 30 gallon sump
Temp-77.8 on my AC Jr but has been going up to 81 with the warmer weather
Salinity-1.024
PH - ranges between 8.20 and 8.35
Cal-450ppm
Alk-8dKH - been dosing to get this up to 9 or so
Mag-haven't tested in awhile
Ammonia-0 - I'd imagine don't test regurlarly for it
Nitrite-0 I'd imagine don't test regurlarly for it
Nitrate- haven't tested in awhile but it's low - only 3 fish

PH-8.0
Alk-10.1
Mag-???
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
(struggling with Alk/Ph/Cal since crash...slowly comin' back around)


120g Reef
Temp-78.3F sumped to basement...never goes over 80.2
Salinity-1.026
Cal-380ppm

not feeling like checking the rest tonight.

 

[superkat]

at 11:32 pm? I guess not, don't blame you.

 

[khaosinc]

I haven't checked my parameters in months. I figure I'm better off not knowing.

 

[frofan]

What test kit is everyone using to test with?

 

[dan10342]

SG 1.027
temp 80 degrees farenheight
alk 10.2dkh
PH - no idea
Calcium - didn't bother testing it ()
Phosphate 0.06 last i checked on the photometer
Ammonia -?
Nitrite - ?
Nitrate -?

-any questions?

 

[mr86mister]

I use Salifert kits.
