Have I Beaten Dinoflagellates And Cyanobacteria? - Day 12

[@burton6235]

Hopefully you do make some videos on raising baby clownfish in the future! Excited to see whats to come for this tank :)

[@emmaruyle6617]

As someone that wants to raise some baby clowns - I'd also love this content!

[@rhanraads5686]

Great tips, as ever, a very useful post!

One thing people should know . If you have high silicate in your water . Your Hanna checker will read very high. I always compare my Hanna to my Red Sea p04 test.

I seen countless times people think their phos is high and drop it and then get full blown Dino’s.

My nitrate/phosphate as of my last ICP where through the roof...like way beyond what anyone wants. 137.08 and 3.601 respectively! I've been working on bringing those way down and I also ordered new test kits because mine where just clearly expired or something because the levels that were reported back were just wildly off of the Red Sea kits I was using. Not that any of that matters when I have an aluminum level of 753 in my tank. I've been working on fixing that and think I have that fixed. I'll find out in a few days when I get my next ICP results back!

Hanna ulr phosphorus is supposed to be more accurate than ulr phosphate? BTW, I'm glad to see that you own a comb! 😄

I think the 3 minutes is to get the bubbles out 🤔

No, the powder needs time to dissolve and do it's magic (change color).

Hold on what did you just say about a hanna conversion chart? Isn't the phosphate number on the display, the actual phosphate reading to be documented? Im confused potentially

[@tompage8674]

He's looking at a phosphorus checker. To get phosphate you need to convert it

So this is 12 day's worth of videos but how many actual days did it take to get to this stage?

[@PrestigeReef]

I was 10 days ahead of everyone else when I started so at most 22 days

[@waterbird-s5q]

@@PrestigeReef understood. I was wondering about the timescales for ridding the dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria.
