Hey so my qt isn't 10' away from my display it's 9.5' away. Would this make a difference? Ik it should be 10'.
That recommendation was based on a study that used very strong fans outdoors to transfer marine velvet via aerosol transmission 10 feet.
Ok, thanks for that. Ik you said don't worry about nitrates but my qt has 65ppm of nitrates atm. Wondering when I should do a 50% water change and when I should be concerned.
65ppm nitrates won’t hurt. It’s most certainly not 65ppm. Most likely a testing error from nitrites.
I'll do a nitrite test, just need a couple mins
Well so far I can see I already have nitrites...
Color is quite dark and only 1m into test.
Don’t worry. Nitrites aren’t toxic unless extremely high. If you have nitrites it means your nitrate test kit is having false readings.
I have 2ppm of nitrite, is this a concern?
Ok yeah my ammonia is 0, based on the ammonia badge.
Not at all.
How are the clowns doing?
Well, update on the fish... They all look fine. The clown were actually doing the mating twitches. The goby does yawn a bit. And the clowns' jerks seem to be minimal at this point. Even though my qt water is at 1.019 the pH is 8.0 - 8.1 my water change water is ready when needed and pre dosed with copper. My wc water is at 1.020 because I want to keep it towards 1.020.
It’s expensive, but if you can’t find another source then it will have to do. Hanna Instruments Glass Cuvettes and Caps for Checker HC Colorimeters (Set of 2)Just broke one of my 2 Hanna checker vials... The threads cracked
dang...I think I can just use the one for now...
