Muttley000 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Pretty happy with these numbers. I am planning on running calcium alk and magnesium tests again tonight to see what is used by my system in 2 weeks time Then I can see if I need to be adding anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Mag 1350, calcium 450, alk 7.5 is how they came out for me. Interesting that Alk lowered but calcium did not to me, but could be just testing error I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long road, but I am looking forward to mine showing up. I manually enter my readings for now. It's not hard to do. Easy way to keep track of everything and share when wanted.

If through water changes ok, if with certain methods of dosing you will need to supplement normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Pretty stable, especially considering it has been quite neglected the last few weeks! crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonya Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Depends how you keep you calcium and alk where it needs to be. If through water changes ok, if with certain methods of dosing you will need to supplement normally. I do 25% water changes every two weeks in a 45 gal tank. I dose 12 ml of Alk and 6ml of CA daily using a doser. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I would in that instance pick up a test kit. I really like Salifert for a magnesium test, but since Premium Aquatics was out of them last time I needed a kit I tried Elos, and it is equally as good.

This is one of several awesome articles he has written on aquarium chemistry. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/10/chemistry Birdman and Tonya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
