That’s it you have shown me the last video I’ll ever watch of Red Sea there tanks seals let go within 5 years there products seem like they just pushed them out to make money without testing and there only response is if it’s not working replace it. My new tank will be a Cade and there will be no Red Sea products anywhere on out

I am getting pretty annoyed with icp analysis. I am getting the same results with high iodine and low traces. Its showing my iodine 10x the high limit. Seems this has been going on for a couple months and they have not corrected. Im sure they have given false readings to at least 100 reefers by now.
@foreverfishtank546410 ай бұрын
If you pay attention to the actual numbers each lab provides (based on the numbers you put up on the screen) are all within 15% of each other with the exception of AL and I. 15% variability is within the margin of error for these tests. It is because there is no agreed upon "good" ranges for these elements that you get the differences in recommendation (too low or too high or normal) - for example, two labs indicated that your Alk was too high, even though you didn't think so, since people have a different range they'd like to be in. With I and AL, one lab result varied markedly from the other two. That indicates that the one lab experienced an error for that element. As a result, the best way to use these tests is to check agains ranges you'd like to maintain for a given element. If you don't have a range in mind (such as the trident method or others), these tests are best used to look for any values that are indicated as grossly out of range. In that case, you need to send in a second test. Because as you noticed, grossly out of range could indicate a lab error. If the second test confirms the results, then you can take action. Otherwise ignore it. Overall, I find these not particularly useful - I don't try to maintain particular ranges for elements other than Alk, NO3, and PO4. I use them if my tank goes downhill and I cannot figure out the cause. In such cases, the test can provide an additional clue, if the result are used with the above caveats I mention. Another use is to keep a trend for your tank by sending one in every quarter, for example. That way you can be on alert if any values change drastically (again subject to a second test confirmation due to errors). I don't use it this way because, I really am not sure whether some of these elements really make a difference, especially as long as you are doing consistent water changes.
@RichardGraff-o3f10 ай бұрын
I think the lesson from this exercise is pick one ICP testing company and use it. Don’t chase after the numbers look for trends and whenever possible check against your own test kits.

Great video, the aqua forest always show me high Aluminum for some reason also. regarding the salinity now, all tests will show hight alinity because of the crystams forming over the time that test does when travels far, and also due the low temperatures and low pressure when they travel by air. So don't be too concerned about salinity.

Think it all depends on who is doing the testing, did they do the proper calibration/qc on the machinery before they started testing, and were the results reported properly ie did you get someone else’s results by mistake. I don’t know who, if anyone, oversees these labs. It’s not like there’s any state or federal or professional organization that licenses these labs and vets their methods-if anyone knows please chime in-I’d like to know for certain. I work in healthcare where everything is regulated heavily for good reasons to ensure reliability and accuracy. Somehow I don’t think it’s happening with ICP tests besides the company itself, so who really knows. KISS- water changes and trends in testing not numbers is what I seem to always go back to. Just my 2 dinares.

I've seen 4 other reefers do the exact same thing as you. Send in tests on the same day to multiple companies and same results. They were all different. I sorta stopped relying on these tests and have went back to water changes. Box of salt is less than icp and all the trace elements you have to dose. Not worth it in my opinion.

The problem salt is not compensating the uses, to do so in a fully stocked tank you would need pretty large water change

I have the same CO2 Scrubber and Protein Skimmer. It's been such a pain finding proper instructions on how to install the CO2 scrubber to the inlet which I have just hooked up to the 2 little holes on top...my question is did you run a tube directly into the sump at the base of the inlet and completely bypassed the inlet valve all together? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. I'm liking your video as it has been informative!
@Coralgardens10 ай бұрын
Yes I did run straight to the inlet on the skimmer, I did bypass the inlet valve. I found the tubing at home depo as mine was too short. The centre outlet on your co2 scrubber is for air intake do not put it on that one. Thanks for watching, if you hit the notification bell it will notify you when I publish my next videos.

I’ve been reef keeping since the late 90s too. The key is to keep cool reef fish that DON”T require crazy foods, extra work and machinery like UV systems to keep healthy. So I’m all about hardy worker tangs, wrasses, bristle worm eating dottibacks, gobies, etc. I focus more on the reef tank ecosystem as a whole than the constituents. I use just the basics so 5X extra amounts of bio filtration, super high flow w/algae scrubbers combined with 20% water changes every 3 weeks. No skimmer, UV, reactors, roller, etc…Basically as little technology as possible for life support. If you do it right the reef tank will flourish and manage itself over time and will be super healthy with far less expense and work.
