Hi everyone!
I just got my aquarium up and running with live rock and have been doing some tests and I would like just a little bit of advice
Parameters:
PH: 8.2
dKH: 7.5
Sal : 1.023
Calcium: 400
Now, I think my dKH is a little bit on the low side... What do you guys think? I am currently using Instant Ocean Reef crystals as my salt mix with NO other additives.
I would like to increase my calcium to 450 and my dKH maybe to 8.5, unless you guys do not believe it is necessary.
Also, If I were to go the dosing route, I do not have any sort of dosing pump right now... Does anyone have any advice on this?
I am going to be placing an order with Dr. Fosters and Smith here shortly, does any one have any experience with
Hanna Instruments Testers
Aquarium Water Quality & Testing: Hanna Instruments Testers
I am considering getting the PH/EC/TDS one, if it is worth while... if not I might save my money and get pinpoint down the road.
So to recap, are my parameters OK or no?
If I do decided to dose supplements, what should and I order and how should I dose?
Is the Hanna tester any good?
