P.S. there’s no livestock right now.

@OpalZebra66 197d

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.

@skebo 196d

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

@Vinny 196d

Oh it’s in ppm

@skebo 196d

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

@Vinny 196d

I think 7dkh of the top of my head

@skebo 196d

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.

@Vinny 196d

lol definitely need improvement🤣

@RomeroLagoon 196d

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

@Vinny 196d

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.
