Buuuuut……your original post was “Tenuis on the left or milli on the right?”

It also looked identical to the Frootloops in the live sale

That is true!!!!! But after carefully studying the frag I think it's a vermiculata

That is true. I removed it from the sale since it was mis labeled

So what is the piece?

Here is a quick shot of the mother it's a nasty acro that is for sure.

That’s special. Looks more like a Tenuis to me than a vermiculata. Vermiculata has knobby corallites.

I take my vote back, that’s the one.

That is a great question and thanks for asking I dose no3 using neonitro and neophose. I’m up to dosing 125ML neonitro and 40 ML neophos on my 560 gallon system that is the system with the 180 display from above. IMO you should never feed heavy just to get these numbers up. your tank will get way to dirty. I actually feed a very specific way using American Reef HPD in order to control the no3 and po4 bringing those down to virtually 0. and then i control them and bring them back up via the dosing.....

This is crazy because i "thought" higher nitrates would be an issue.

Any updates on the comparison of the new Hanna nitrate and phosphate photometer?

Not yet but we will work on it this week!!!!

 

[SBB Corals]

Here is the 1st results of the test for po4 using the Hanna H1774 handheld and the Hanna H1996713 Photometer.

We ran the test between the 2 and the test where very close..

The photometer is nice because you can calibrate it and also do a quick check with standard solution to make sure its calibrated. We checked the calibration and also recalibrated it before this test. Its good to see the Hanna handheld is close to the photometer.

The handheld was around $55 and the Photometer was $350. I would still choose the photometer over the handheld because of the calibration and quick check options.

Over time we will continue to test both of these for po4 to see if the Handheld ever becomes out of range.

Also on next Triton ICP test we will check the po4 using both checkers and post the results and see how it matches with the tiron ICP... stay tuned for this.

Currently in our all systems we keep po4 between .06 and .12. We see tenuis corals have random RTN over .12..

The checker has a simple calibration kit as well. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/hi77...or-hi774-hanna-checker-hanna-instruments.html

What methods are you using to keep your Po4 0.06-0.12

I assume you mean you keep phosphate between .06 and .12. And from your results you're currently running .11 to .12. Talk about riding the razor edge!

Did you have random rtn back when your main system was running 0.29 po4 according to your Hanna ulr?

The Results of the skimmer to remove po4 test results are in!!! you were right it doesn't nothing to reduce po4 LOL We are trying to get the po4 down on the new 360 gallon system. Before the Test the Hanna was reading .90. So we added a skimmer to see if it would reduce the po4. We skimmed...

I think this is just a checker but not a calibration tool. this will just check if the result on the unit is accurate..

I think so.. but i didn't know it was the po4 but maybe ..

The vials have an absolute set value. If the test doesn’t result in range then there is something wrong with the unit.

Hmmm….I’ve followed your posts and videos for a long time and remember your PE was pretty crazy back then too. Actually quite a bit crazier than your most recent video.
