The OP thought he was at 75........... that became through some top-notch research work by our Elite Reef Squad for the day @twilliard, @143MPCo, @kschweer and @Randy Holmes-Farley close to 0.75 and due to some define work from the same four musketeers 4.0 PPM give and take.
0.75 isn't that great if you have corals as you will starve them long term.

I know how to read.
I'm aware that at first he had posted "75". What made you think that I didn't know he originally posted "75"?
Stop 'putting words' in someone's mouth.
Sheesh.

Thanks for pointing that out but you missing the point here.
I never said that you can't read!
The point is that you mentioned in your own words "Actually, your Nitrates at 0.75 is really good!!!!"
That said 0.75 isn't that good as your target is a minimum of 2.0.
If you follow and read the post all the way it also points out that the OP's No3 became due to more testing 4.0.
So.......... pointing out that your advice of "Actually, your Nitrates at 0.75 is really good!!!!" isn't relevant.

You're the one that mentioned that the op said "75". Why? That implies that I didn't know he posted that.

Your so called expert advice is without merit.

Oh, and you and your self proclaimed 'experts' should learn to spell. The posted photo should use 'there' not 'their'.

Randy quick question for you. I thought about this when I was testing a friends water the other day. Is it necessary to rerun the test or could you simply take 1ml of already tested water and mix it with 15ml of rodi water and get the same result?

Answer is in this thread, thats part of what ive learned. Yes you do get the same result BUT you have to use the high range card, not the wheel.

joshkirkland83 · Jan 8, 2016

Ok, @Diesel and @twilliard. I did a 10g water change and its still around 4ppm. I guess do another tommorrow?

I also PROPERLY tested and read my 75g mixed reef tank. I got 1ppm in there. Should I raise that any?
