Thinking up picking up this simple tank chemistry monitor from Amazon. Hopefully itll help keep some of my peremeters in better control, since im really bad about testing. Anyone have thoughts?

Are you needing anything else

When I was in need I turned a Christmas ornament into a stand

In my defense, it’s a frag stand Christmas ornament. Which is just the frag stand. With a little extension and some string. Easily converted back to frag stand

For a second I got excited thinking that it would spin a frag in the water like a tree… which would be pretty cool.

I don’t think anything it tests for is useful, or eliminates any of the things we should be testing for. I also question its accuracy / calibration for certain things in saltwater

@SBB Corals looks like it's been a busy day with setting up the 40 gal breeders and moving rock flowers, nems, and shrooms!

Not yet. I got home and noticed my sump was a little low on water and realized I need to pay more attention to that now that I live in a desert dry climate and not a rainforest lol. So I also thought I should check my salinity and it was high. Due to the evaporation. So yeah. Need to look into a basic quick tester/ monitor. I really wish I could afford the Hydro controller with that all built in, but not yet.

You have an ATO?

Or...and this would be pretty wild and cutting edge as far as reefs go....get an ato.

Make tank correct salinity and fill sump to desired level

Put piece of tape or line with sharpie at the water line in return chamber

When sump return chamber goes more than an inch below the line, your salinity is high. Add rodi and fill back to the line, your salinity will be corrected

Not yet, I was also thinking of adding one now too.

Yeah.....yeah......good idea!

Definitely worth it and you can get some pretty cheap if you want. I have one of the cheap amazon ones on my QT/Frag tank and it works well

 

[billyocean]

When your salinity changes...it changes every parameter in your tank.

 

[mww00ds]

I'm gonna look up some simple diy ATO's, all the pre-made ones are bit expensive right now.

 

[mycoralswontgrow]

@SBB Corals like your new spot for the nems and shrooms. What are you expanding into the now empty tanks

I'll look in my spare supplies. I think I have one of the amazon ones with the sensor but I don't have the pump for it. If I can find it and you want to tinker with it, it's yours

Tank size?

 

[ReeferZ1227]

I think the se side is what's gonna bring the storm surge

Loosks like SE fell apart from the dry air which is keepig it pretty dry here. Def not nice weather right now.

 

[mww00ds]

Tank size?

60 gal cube, with 17 gal sump. I also need to keep everything somewhat simple. So that when I'm on the rode for work my wife can also run things, should she need too.
