Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #161 Using a Syringe

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

@Randy Holmes-Farley - This was SUPER helpful, especially the last part where you explain why/how the medical work approaches this differently. That was helpful in understanding this concept of the syringe volume.

You’re welcome.

Happy Reefing!

1.6ml

This why you never bother to test your system’s water chemistry

You don't think you can read that syringe to the nearest tenth of an mL?

Love this question. I use a syringe with and without a tip and I have never thought to use a camera to get a clear view of the plunger. I do have a method I use to keep the measurements “the same “ each time because I can’t see that well anymore.

Clearly 2.9, but not going to say that without the picture in general practice. Thanks for sharing another great tip!
