Data from my tank

[The Chefin' man]

This tank was started on Oct-24-06. Here is the data compiled after I started testing for the past few days.

Date Alka NH3 NO2 NO3 pH Salinity SG T(c) T(f)
10/24/2006 30 1.023
11/4/2006 4.01 0.15 0.14 4 8.12 28 1.021 25.6 78
11/5/2006 3.5 0.09 0.5 3 8.09 28 1.021 25.6 78
11/6/2006 3 0.022 0.29 2.5 8.28 29.5 1.021 25.6 78

these tests have been procured with a Sea Chem test kit. After I finish this off I am going to Salifert. I do not really care for this one. I seems that they are dropping except the PH so when should I start buffering?


Thank you the chef
What do you all think am I right on the money?

Also, I still have that damn red slime algae. Is there a clean up crew that will eat this stuff?

Check your phosphates for the red slime...are using RO/DI water?

Hello Pepperoni,

Yes, I am using ro/di water. I will check the pho tommorow. The test kit that I have did not include a phosphate test.

Talk to you later J.c.
