AW Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 What we need is a calming influence. I've being told that people who keep aquariums are generally more relaxed and able to cope better with stress. Perhaps we should all start keeping aquariums...... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 the new fangled machine reads 0.42 on my tank..... now you have to multiply by 0.747 to get ppm phosphate so that makes my tank reading 0.31 ppm you are using the colourmeter incorrectly as you dont multiple anything, the actual reading is the phostphate level, so in your case its .42 mg/l or .42ppm which is how most phosphate test kits read. so Scientifically 1 milligram per litre (mg/L) = 1 part per million (ppm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuzza Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Test kits are just a guide.If you want perfection by chemist shop and send a team in to do regular checks.Every time you do a check there will be someting differnt like 11mls not 10mls being tested.We are not perfect. As long as my tank stays around where it should be to maintain a happy home i dont STRESS as it nearly ruled my life and then there goes your wife.

RnB Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Pies was one of my and one of reef's posts I agree the personal slagging should have been removed. I was responsibkle for my bit and I am sorry for that. There where other aspects of my post however that I wish to repost as they where not personal. I am just making sure my wording could not be constructed in any way outside this sites rules....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEOvitANZ Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I was told coral colours were due to the lighting used over the tank. I am really confused now, is it lighting or low nutrients ? Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 It's lighting, water conditions, food, karma, dogma, and the alignment of the stars that decide coral coloring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Don't forget the coral. No amount of phosphate resins, vodka, zeovit, karma or skimming is going to make a naturally green coral pink. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
