Two Part Dosers - How often do you test your Ca and Alk?

[dirtyreefer]

I probably test every 2-3 weeks. Just curious how frequently everyone else does.

 

[BoxsterDude]

About every 2-3 months, my prize corals will tell me what is going on. just my two cents.

 

[Shawnts106]

I probably test around... 3 - 4 times a week... with Salifert Test Kits.

Im back on B-Ionics from ESV, and Im sooo glad I got back on this system...
I dont know WHAT possessed me to get off of it in the first place!

Yes, I know about Randys & Magflake, Dowflake etc... Id just rather by from this company and get it in "name brand" fashion..

Its the same for people who buy Prodibio/Zeo and spend that much a year on it...

... Tested... Tried... TRUE!

AND ANYWAY... I get it wholesale b/c I work at a LFS hehehe

I test alk once a month. Calcium and Magnesium every 2-3 months.

 

[DaddyJax]

About once a month unless I see problems.

 

[Saldarya]

I use B-Ionic and I test once a week, just part of my weekly maintenance. Once you know the tests, it only takes like 2 minutes.

[MGB]

I'm using B-Ionic too, and I test weekly with Salifert kits.
I'm wondering what's the margin of error on these kits though, it always seams like my Alk tests high.

Every Fri. I test Ca., dKH, and Mg. Monthly I test Ammonia, trite, trate, and phos.

I have a list to fill in every week with tank chores to complete every other day. Keeps me from forgetting.

Every 2 to 4 weeks.
