HOW YOU MEAN IT READING WRONG. WHY YOU SAY THAT AND WHATS D READING

[sharkman121]

You usually use rodi water to calibrate it to zero. It normally comes with the calibrating instructions though. You have the instructions?

[UML]

ah use it to read meh partner water and it read high and he one was reading good

then i use normal tap water and it reading high too

meh partner say u have to leave the salt water in it overnight...das wat i doing right now.

it gone down a bit but it reading a little high.....if it still so by the morning i go add more water and see if it read better

[HondaB20B]

.......................

[UML]

well i new in the ting so with time i go upgrade and ting

well it reading good this morning...like 1.022 -1.023

so i just need to go get my live rock now.

[ARES0610]

Hey UML, you just have to make sure no bubbles stuck to the arm. That would give you a false reading. So let the water flow in gently. Also most hydrometers have a manufacture defect where the counter weight on the arm is off by some small amount, this would cause a constant error so once you what that is you will be better off using your faulty one than a new one with an unknown error. Check it against someone with a refractometer to get the calibration.

[UML]

thx it working much better.

[HondaB20B]

.......................

[UML]

thx will do. thanks for all the helpful advice ppl.

[HondaB20B]

how much gallon tub is it? you mixed your own salt or you bought the water from raj

[UML]

30 gallon tub filled with 20 gallons of water and mixed myself.

[UML]

i got my live rock today....but it has green moss and some purple moss all over it. Do i scrub the moss off? will the green moss cause an algae outbreak to develop in my tank? what about the purple moss?

also got some very small crabs and prawn-like creatures on the rock and water....do i keep them in my curing tank to help the process or are they pest that i should get rid of?

[thetriniman]

folks... any idea where I can get Seachem products like Stability locally?
thanks

[HondaB20B]

Try the Microbe-lift special blend. works real good. raj have it for $65. its a 8.5fl.oz (251) bottle which lasts a few weeks. I think i bought the bottle of stability by him also but the special blend works better.

how did you drip the mollies

[UML]

i think it was my fault. i siphoned with an air hose but i find it was flowing a little too fast and den i remembered u said "drip" so i added a air hose valve and dripped it...but i think the damage had already been done.

tell me something Hondab20b....what is an acceptable level or reading for ammonia testing.....i trying to figure out wat reading is acceptable and what becomes dangerous.

do i need a RODI unit for a FOWLR set up? or I can wait until i decide to go reef?
