P.S. there’s no livestock right now.

User Avatar @OpalZebra66 35d

Totally feel you! It’s like a juggling act with alk, calc, and mag all needing to be in sync. At least running tests with the SpinTouch makes it easier to catch the swings early before adding any livestock.

User Avatar @skebo 35d

Why is alk so high? Fwiw the margin of error on the API spindisk is like 30%.

User Avatar @KingArk7601 35d

Oh it’s in ppm

User Avatar @skebo 35d

Yep. Ops. Whats that, about 9.5- 10?

User Avatar @KingArk7601 35d

User Avatar @skebo 35d

6.9. Wow. Went from thinking its to high to to low. The edges of in range. Good thing your tank didn't swing like I just did lol.

Where did you purchase this meter? Is it one sample all in one? I’m way behind I’m still dropping drops

User Avatar @KingArk7601 35d

It’s just a spin touch from my LFS there really good from what I’ve found there located in the Brisbane area. Reeftopia if your wondering, they do sometimes charge for tests but I’ve tested there heaps and only got charged once so I could really tell you. Super reliable though.

I just looked up the cost…$1200-1500. Ouch.

User Avatar @abrand 34d

I just did the same. Just getting started in reefing. The wife is already mad about cost of lights and other things so that will have to wait. Lol.
