What, when and how I test all of my reef tanks!

In this video I will share with you what parameters I test on my reef tanks, when I test them and what equipment I use to test each parameter.

I'll cover this for my THREE reef tanks, all of which vary drastically!

Testing is never to much I test for KH, calcium and mag every day phosphate, nitrates and salinity twice a week the only difference is I have to do it all manually, no much room for anything else in my sump . Great to see how you do it. Thanks for the video Sam!

Just picked up a Mastertronic as the last "piece" of my automation. Put it off for awhile as I thought with Hanna quick checkers I would do it more frequently, but with everything in life I just don't get to it. Using the AWC system to take "old" SW and recycle to other tanks down the line is a terrific idea!

Top video, I aspire to your testing routine on the dream reef tank.

I was kh guardian fan, im now hooked on the reefkeeper and auto dosing.

Testing is paramount especially if something goes south in your tank. It’s always nice to know where your parameters are when maintaining a system especially when you have such a large investment. I use Neptunes Trident 🔱 and test my DKH 6x/day and my Ca & Mg 4x. I manually test my N03, P04 3x/wk. I’ve been thinking of buying the mastertronic and am still on the fence with it. Thanks for sharing Sam. 👌

Great video again, thanks for sharing your experience and ideas. It has been a great help so far! Ps: I love your t-shirt ;)!

Huge fan of your Channel! I've been googling the spin touch for about a half an hour and I can't find one that tests all the parameters of you've got most of what shows up is just for home pools. Could you please take the time to send me a model number or something that would help me run it down cuz I really want one of those. Thank you

New drinking game, every time Sam says 'treat', do a shot! 😂 Great video as always :)

[erictang]

thank you Sam for such a nice video! as with all auto tester, the better the calibration is done, the more accurate the unit is and you have truly demonstrated that with the Mastertronic!! well done!
