March start using the Hanna checker! It’s awesome and easy to use. Takes under 10mins and is more accurate then looking at water for a slight colour change! I switched to one and love it. My nano take with looking at the water colour I thought I was 2-5ppm. With the checker I found out I was almost 15ppm. I clearly can’t tell with the colour change myself!

The Hanna Low Range Nitrate checker is a bit of a pain, but totally worth it if you have sub-5 Nitrates. When you can read your 0.46 nitrate with accuracy, it’s nice. Plus, while you’re raising it slowly… you can actually tell what you’re doing.

Those that have experience KNOW their 'canaries in the coal mine' corals that signal bad goings on within the tank walls. Love your take on API, '....throw that $hit out!' LMAO That should be a REEFING MEME.

Hey March! I have a 75 gallon mixed reef tank and possibly need to start dosing soon. I plan on getting Hanna Checkers for Christmas Which ones would you recommend me getting? I figured the Calcium, Nitrate, alkalinity, and magnesium.

I also read 0nitrates with the salifert but what I do know is that the nutrients are getting used up almost instantly with the Coral, fish and inverts and the coral look healthy & amazing with noticeable growth *knock on wood*. I’m curious to know what your results are with dosing/adding nitrates if it will be the solution to your problems. 🤔

Hanna checkers are amazing. I also verify with salifert cause I don't fully trust any aquarium related electronics but, getting a number instead of a color that doesn't quite match anything on the chart is wonderful

Need to come and check out the shop soon. Especially after seeing all the awesome corals you have in stock. Hopefully gonna pop down this week or next. Was going to another one of your competitors (not aquarium depot) because they were closer to me but had a bad experience with the owner blaming prime for a clear bacterial infection that killed a fish and after some digging I see some other sus behaviour with this owner blaming people he thinks don’t know enough to know he’s wrong.

Seriously though your vids get me through some pretty nasty days here with all the storms and flooding we have been though. Watching them has become the highlight of my day. Thanks March and crew.

Funny you mentioned the Hannah checker...I just wasted 2 rounds trying to use it today! I'm sure it gets easier the more you use it lol. Question. Would a death add ammonia and increase nitrates to a tank?
@vincentjames1995
@vincentjames1995 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, if something dies, it will decompose into ammonia, then nitrite, then nitrate. If you have enough beneficial bacteria, it will consume the ammonia and it won't register on a test. If what is rotting is too much for your bacteria to handle, you will register ammonia.

The API nitrate test kit is awful 😂 But the phosphate, and pH are honestly not bad. A test was ran with the pH one for accuracy, and it’s pretty solid tbh. (But other test kits are obviously a better choice).

@@vincentjames1995 I don't mind it as I use it to cross-reference if my nitrates are under 5ppm from my salifert test kit. But you're going to need like 30 mins as there's like 15 steps before you complete your reading so you'll need a lot of patience with the LR test kit.
