Just an update. I just tested a new batch of salt water (Coralife) and got a reading of 3000! I guess that's the problem since the water I'm starting...
Another thing I've noticed. At the beginning of the Salifert instruction page for magnesium it reads: "Calcium and strontium will not...
I've always used Coralife
No idea. That's just the problem. I never add calcium either and that stays around 650. I did the tests many times over. Always did very well in...
To find higher readings you have to fill the syringe twice then add your results.
Hey, thanks anyway birdlady. BTW I am using RO/DI water. Also, if this helps, I'm using Coralife salt.
Yes, you have to fill the syringe twice. Then just add the readings according to the formula.

Can anyone I.D. this coral for me please? Also what type (lps,sps,etc..).
I don't know if that is true for the pink condi. It's always had white tentacles with pink tips and looked very healthy. After it attached itself to...
I think I got it now. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Actually it's looking a little better, but still brown on tentacles.
Craig, I have a pic in the gallery. Still getting used to the new digital camera, never had one before(always been SLR). Will try and post pic in...
Thanks guys, I figured it out. The program that came with mt HP package has everything I need. :)
Well, I got rid of it. I just picked it right up off of the sand. Really thick, like rubber almost.
