Hello, I am wondering the best salifert test kits to replace API tests. If there is a salifert that is not really better than API it would be good to know. If this is not the correct place to post I apologize I figure this counts as reef chemistry. Looking at the Ca, Mag, Alk, Nitrate, pH...

I have an HI700 Hanna LR ammonia test kit, when I put the reagents in, the sample turns cloudy/milky (like a body fluid...). There's no discernible color like yellow. I've run the test 3 times, each time I get the blinking 3.00 (out of range result). To make sure I'm not crazy, I had my wife...

Hello, I don’t know how exactly all started but I have high ammonia for over 3 weeks now. I’m adding api ammonia lock, prime, api quick start and stability.I did water change 4 times and ammonia is still the same. I had star fish that my puffer was picking all the time and die and one small...

Whatsup fellas….so when adding fish, i know the net disturbs the slime cost on the fish. Is StressCoat by API a good product? And if so is their dose valid? I ask because it’s A slimy product and I don’t know will that mess up the water composition? And also how long does the actual product...

Hey all, Im running a 40g breeder with an active 75g skimmer, 1 HOB filter, 1 internal shark filter, 25lbs dry rock, 15lbs live rock, and 40lbs of live sand. I am using rodi water, ph is 8.1, salinity is 1.025. I started the cycle off using Dr. Tim's fishless cycle, accidentally dosing ammonia...

Had 3 Nitrate tests one of them being at the LFS. So confused don't know which to trust! HELP! API Nitrate - 5ppm Salifert Nitrate- 50ppm LFS test strips - 20ppm Phosphates test only with Salifert- 3ppm All other test from ph, salinity, alk all in perfect range. Everything in the tank...

So I’ve measured my KH with two different API KH tests and they were quite different from each other. I would’ve accepted one or two DKH difference but it was a difference of 6… one measured 10 and the other measured 16. Anybody else have experience with this? I know I’ve heard people say API...

Hello guys I’m here since I KNOW I shocked my corals I just want to figure out which thing I specifically did to shock my corals or if it was a mixture of it. So the basic run down, I tested my tank and saw that my PH was incredibly low, (7.5) my magnesium was low as well (1080) my phosphates...

Just getting back in so not sure if to spend on the Hanna checkers for calc alk mag and phos or purchase something else like red sea or api or any other out there now

I have noticed my API kit readings are always much different than my RedSea. Any advise on which I should be following or do I assume my numbers are somewhere in the middle? Is there another test kit I should be using? For example, PH - API 7.8 vs RedSea 8.1 KH - API 10 vs RedSea 8 PO4 - API...

I created a 3D printed test tube rack and wanted to share it with the community. I designed it to hold my test kit hardware to make it easier to collect the samples, test the water, carry the test tubes and cuvettes to the sink, hang it on the sink and keep everything safe, wash the hardware...

Aloha R2R Setup: 2-Week Old Red Sea Reefer 350 (91 Gal), Carbisea Fiji Pink LS, Dry-Rock. Using Tropic Marin Pro (which ill share my error after). Goal is a mixed reef tank. Issue: I set this tank up on January 1st 2022 and used Dr Tim’s one and only bacteria. No livestock, no ghost feeding...

Hello all! I currently have a 60 gallon reed tank that has been having some problems. I run 2 AI prime lights in my tank and seem to notice a couple things. My acans have not seemed to do very well where the light hits em, however they are encrusted to the actual rock. Also, many of my corals...

Does any1 have the scoop on APIs aquaspin water parameter reader? My lfs uses it for testing water. (I currently run trident/apex) but my trident is reading alot lower than my hand testers(hanna) and my LFS api aquaspin machine. And yes i have recalibrated my trident already didnt change. Any...

Hi, I work for a marketing company in Michigan and have a client that is a member here and we would like to be able to feed their posts we do on other social media platforms to your site. I see the base forum software has some APIs available to do this but I don't see where that is listed on...

I'm been working on this for while and i feel that it looks good enough to show.... i hope it helps others analysis digital color representation for people who are color blind like me, parts are pretty cheap possibly under $15 and no soldering required. DIY Digital 3D Color Analysis for...

Nitrate increases zooxanthellae population density and reduces skeletogenesis in corals. To reduce nitrates in the aquarium: -Do larger, more frequent water changes -Reduce bioload and/or reduce feeding -Carbon dosing: try a liquid nitrate remover or use biopellets in a media reactor -Start a...

Hello, I have a 100L fish tank with one vagabond butterflyfish and one Picasso triggerfish. I have had these fish for about 1 and a half weeks now, and I suddenly recognised their behavior to be a bit abnormal. It was just today when I woke up, the trigger was breathing really heavily and...

I really really really like the Orphek Atlantik V4 gen2's... however their lack of integration with the Apex makes it a no go for me currently. As the title says, what's the current accepted method to input data to the Apex as I understand there is no real exposed API... *angry face*

So I was dumb and let myself use up all the alkalinity reagent from my hanna checker before ordering more. I am currently fine tuning my daily dose so I can set up a dosing pump. All I have is an api alk test which is accurate to intervals of 1. 1 drop = 1 alk 2 = 2 alk so on and so forth...

This is mostly a vent about my stupidity. momentary lack of awesome. So I tend to run my pH on the high side (8.5 - 8.6) and everything was looking great. At some point it started to creep close to 8.75 (Tested with Apex, Profilux, and pinpoint. New probes and calibration to confirm) Suddenly...
