Muttley000 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I got my first evaluation back today. First thoughts having had 5 whole minutes to look at and digest this are that I need to calibrate my salinity probe because it is a couple points off, I'm not terrible with my test kits as I had comparable numbers, I will do a couple water changes as suggested before beginning the dosing, and look for something coroding. The RODI test is still not complete. http://lab.atiaquaristik.com/share/14e9cb581f080692b468 Edited February 23, 2018 by Muttley000 Forgot link!

crimsonvice Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nice results. Everything seems to look great. What is your water change schedule now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 To be honest I haven’t done one since October. Just been using additives to keep the big 3 where they needed. With my nitrates and phosphates where they are I figured why not stretch it to see what happened. I can see why this system will allow me to continue to do that since the trace elements will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Got the RODI results today http://lab.atiaquaristik.com/share/462f4d8089adc8d54767 Off to see why I am recommended to add fluor and does anyone know how to remove silica? They recommend silica absorber so I'm researching that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hmm, I already have 3 stages of DI, but maybe I am using the wrong resin. I just get the regular nuclear grade color changing resin everyone sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been doing some reading this morning and since my phosphates are so low a product like phosban should suck them the silicates out. I think I will try some of those silicon buster DI cartridges the next time I have to buy resin too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 At first glance this may appear to show I have the dose dialed in on the first try, but I have raised my salinity by a full point during this time (still a half a point to go to get back to 1.025) so I expected to see a slight rise. Going to bump the daily dose up by .02mm and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonvice Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Looking good. I need to be better about inputting my results into Fusion so I can keep track of them. I think the Fishbit app had a little easier UI, so I didnt mind doing it there. Fusion isnt bad... I guess my laziness is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Got my Molybdenum and another test kit coming. Will probably wait until I think my dosing is dailed in before send it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Reviving an old one! I finally ran out of essentials and have just changed over to the pro (2 bottle method instead of 3 bottle). Reduced the dosage to 20 ml from 100 and will let things settle out before sending a test Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
