Testing for Alkalinity

Any reef aquarium hobbyist that attempts a stony-coral dominated aquarium should be very familiar with calcium and alkalinity levels. We covered Calcium in our last video so this video will focus mainly on Alkalinity.

RAP 2017 Recap

WWC – please send this to me! The guys from Worldwide Corals have done it again with the best Reefapalooza Orlando show I have attended.  In it’s 4th year in Orlando, this was, in my humble opinion, the best run show we have ever been to and I’ve had the pleasure of attending all four Orlando shows as a vendor. When we arrived, the Reefapalooza crew greeted us a the back entrance and within about 20 minutes they had the contents of our truck and trailer unloaded and delivered to our 20′ x 10′ booth.  Our thanks go out to the RAP staff that helped us get our gear into the convention center and bring water to our booth for our coral and Tahitian Maxima clam display.  Well

Why You Should Be Testing for Calcium

Calcium, along with Alkalinity, and Magnesium are three major chemical parameters that are integral to stony corals growth. You will find that these three are linked as rises and falls of one affect the other, sometimes in an inverse relationship. This video is going to focus on Calcium.
