In my attempt to get my nitrates as low as possible I have been in search of the best water without adding an RO system just yet. When I use a strip to test different water (Tetra easy strip) testing distilled water, tap water, spring water the test strip is never white always shows some...

Hey guys I'm in week 4 of my cycle with live rock and live sand for a 26 gallon reef tank. I just recently started doing the water tests for about a week now it has read that my pH is about 7.8-8.0 my ammonia is 0.25 nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 5.0. I guess I'm just trying to figure out if I'm...

When testing water in the tank I usually just take the glass beaker and fill it at the top of the tank and I didn't think anything of it but the other day I took water from the top like usual and then I took water from the middle to bottom of my tank and tested both at the same time for nitrate...

The other is the reef master kit that contains calcium, KH, phosphate and nitrate. Which one would be better...

OK, well I think it is a good idea for folks to post their water parameters. Post the date, time, test, and readings. Naming the test kit too helps. I will start Feb 23 @ 4pm/11pm Main System Temp 78/80 pH ranges between 7.91/8.34 with a probe Salinity 33ppt Alk 8 (API) Ca 340 (Salifert)...

Good morning to all. I just did my tests today and my Calcium tested high. I keep it at about 480mg/L and to day it was probably at 620 (my test kit only goes to 520 so it's a guess with the amount of drops I put in.) Is it a bad thing to have too much Calcium in the tank? If so do I do a water...

Ok, i have had this tank set up for a month. It is a 75g with a sump, skimmer, refugium and PC lights. my water test results are as follows: temp-----------------79-81 salinity---------------1.0225 calcium---------------360ppm carbonate hardness---179ppm phosphate------------<.5ppm...
