I’m game to try something new. Using tritation testing and my eyes aren’t what they used to be.

Good job Robert. I really like the Hanna testers and how easy they are to use. No color matching anymore. 😁

I have Hannah checkers in my cart ready to be ordered. Been waiting to get them though.

Love the alk tester. Don't like the calc tester; too difficult to get a repeatable reading.

Would be great to win. It would benefit my reef to have the top of the line equipment.

So I do weekly water changes on my 10 gallon and all i have is small frags that dont consume alot but my alkalinity varies. Usally 8 to 9 dkh. Am I supposed to lock it in to a number and dose for alkalinity? My calcium is 420 or something like that. Havnt checked magnesium truthfully because I dont have a kit for that. I wrote this b4 I saw the whole video now I see what I am to do BUT more than likely water changes will be fine until my frags grow more or add sps so now I have wasted the money on the solution! How long does it store? My ph is usually under 8 as well like to keep it at 8 or higher! How do I do that?

Great vid. 👍
What is the orange coral in the bottom left corner?

Hi Robert, curious as to how much you dose for that tank?

[physci]

Funny how you use milliliters and gallons in the same sentence; I thought that milliliters match liters (a legal unit in the USA) :)

[arturreef]

if i dose equal amounts my calcium goes over 500ppm?

Hi. I have a 8 months old reef tank, I’m started getting Corals around 3 months ago and I got a bunch in last 2 weeks. I’ve had tested for the last 3 days to see if I have to start dosing since my Kh is always been low but my Ca is alway stable at 480 ppm.
My Kh started at 7.8 and after 3 days it’s at 7.4. My Ca still the same.
Can only dose Fusion 2? Or I’ll have to dose the same amount of Fusion 1 even tho my Ca is ok?
