Test results - parametres
Hi, Am a newbie and still waiting for my tank.
I have ended up with about 100kg of live rock in a pond in my garage, all set up with light, skimmer, pump and heater...and NSW
I really do have pet rocks..LOL
I started doing some tests on the water (the main reason for doing it this way and to speed things up later) just to get the hang of it and have done these so far
pH; 8.0
Nitrate; 50-100 could this be right or have I stuffed the test up
Iodine; .01
Iodate; .03
Is there a list of parametres on the site that I have missed
I have these kits also
Strontium
Phosphate
Magnesium
KH/Alk
Calcium
Have ordered Nitrite and Ammonia kits
Can someone recommend range of results and regime for frequency of each test
Right now I have setup in about 250 litres at 25 degrees
