[sharkbait9]

I'm just curious as to how many of use reefers and fish keepers test out waters for these
salinity
temp
Boron
Calcium
Magnesium
Ammonia
Nitrites
Nitrates
Oxygen
Ph
Phosphate
Silicate
Strontium
Iodine
KH/ALK
These are all the test I run. I'm just curious to see if any one else is a anal as I am with testing

Ah, I didn't know you were going to post them afterwards, lol.
I test for: Calcium, Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates, pH, kH, salinity, and temp. I don't add chemicals to my tank, so I don't test for anything else unless I begin to notice that I have a problem.

i don't add to many chemicals to my tnak unless my test show otherwise. Its kind of hard to find any sinthetic saltmix that has the levels.

I test for salinity, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, temp, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, ph. I dont even test for ammonia and nitrite anymore. Just nitrate. Only time i test for ammonia is if i add a fish to see if it has any effect on my bioload.

I test everything on sharkbaits list but Strontium. I dont have that test YET. Only run them all about every month but every week I test alk, ammonia, salinity, pH and check temp everyday.

it is kind of funny now that i look at it but then again, i bought one polyp and it's spreading like fire. one super green polyp and in 4 weeks i have 8 already and four more starting to make an apperiance. I took my buddys brain that was dead, i mean dead it had only a little bit of flesh left. Now its almost fully covered again. So knowing my levels and add what needs to be added, deff makes a diff in corals.
