Good water quality is not important in keeping a successful reef tank. I think some people probably test their water way too much worrying about if stuff like calcium, alk and mag are all in balance and even if they have the correct salinity levels. Just mix water with your salt mix and you will be fine. ;)


Let's see how long it takes for someone to figure out I'm joking LOL!!! You better make sure that water quality is good people!!!!

HAHA!!! Just wondering what your hidden message was! Never know how your mind works!
 
Are you saying us reef keepers are either obsesive or lazy? We either test too much or not enough? I dont think I test enough. Every time I do test, something is too high or too low.
 
Oh, I know....I worry about water quality because I worry about loosing that fish or coral that I just paid and arm and a leg for!

LOL!! Did you find it? It's very easy to find :)

I don't think I use to test too much. With such a small volume of water to deal with where anything can go wrong so easily, I stayed on top of things as best I could. :)

Guess not!

I never test my softy tank or my pico. I test my fresh mixed for salinity and just do regular water changes on those tanks.

LOL! Hit the "Reply with Quote" tab in post 1 and read what shows up. Amazing what can be hidden with "white." :p
 
Well maybe.
My first thought when I read the 1st post was that no salt mix is really in "balance" when it comes to calc,alk, & mag. Something always needs to be adjusted....But I dont know the specs on all salt mixes, so there could be some closer in balance. I know the one I am using isnt in ballance. I am thinking about switching.

Haha!! I figured people would have thought I lost my mind and it would be funny to see some of the responses I got until I thought about newbies searching the forum. :p

Hmmm...I wonder who shares the same ip address with krishisagirl?? :confused:.
Figured I'd get off of my lazy butt and dig into krishisagirls settings to see who here at RF is truely in love with me. Thought it was Mojo and then I thought it was Scooty, but ran the ip and only krishisagirl came up so I went a bit deeper....
