Blitzk, pars

[lazaro torres]

Hey , what was your pars for your green carpet kept at, I usually test every body's water, but not the day you came by with the carpet, I noticed you replied to KittiKity and ask her,him about the pars for the Ricordia ?????

[BlitzK]

I just went to FAOIS and re-upped on some salifert kits today actually...

Alk = 4meg/L
Cal = 380 (needs to be raised)
Phos = .03 or less
NH4 = .25 or less
NO2 = .1 or less
NO3 = .2 or less
(the or less's are because I'd rather error on the side of "too high" on the bad params, then to let it slide and say zero, even if it is really closer to zero).

PH is usually around 8.1-8.2 (electroic monitoring)

salinity is kept around 1.025, but my refractometer recently broke and I need a new one!

Temp is kept within 1 degree of 79.5 by my reefkeeper controller.

I don't test for anything else, but would like to know what my Mag, silica, and Iodine is at.

I use IO reef crystals salt, mixed from RO I make (TDS 000-001) and dose 2-part (although not as regularly as I should). I use the WM 2-part, but will be switching to ESV B-ionic when my supply of WM is gone. I also might switch from IO Reef Crystals to tropic marin pro reef...


How about you?

[Kittikity]

Kittikity is a she.. = )

[tangwang]

There's a company in Lakeland that makes airbag inflators, lol?

[Kittikity]

Yup, but actually, I'm going to be starting as a groomer at Petco in North Lakeland soon.. I groomed for 2 years in south Florida at Petsmart..

So Laz, what are yours?

[m3nac3]

MAGNESIEUM (i ONLY STRICKLY USE ESV MAG) 1500 1600

CAL - 480

PO4 - NONE

NH4 .25 - .0

NO2 .0

NO3 .0

PH 7.9 NIGHT, 8.3 DAY

SALINITY 1.025

TEMP 78 (ALL TANKS RUNNING 1/2 HORSE CHILLERS)


I only test for Alk,Cal,and Mag, every morning, I hand dose B-IONIC.


----LAZ

[BlitzK]

you test for those every day with your tanks??? you must go through a test kit a week!

I hope you have electronic monitoring! Save you a bunch of time and money.

[m3nac3]

yea I go through it fast,I 'LL DEFFINNETLY COMBINE ANG GET BETTER GAGETS LATER, FOR NOW BECAUSE OF HOW MANY TANKS I HAVE I GOT TO DO IT THIS WAY, ALL TANKS ARE separate .

[BlitzK]

with an electronic monitor (pinpoint-type) you can just stick the probe in the tank and read the meter...

[lazaro torres]

hey Blitzk those last post from m3nac3 was from me, I did'nt realize that he logged in to check his pm .
