Same results here with API test kit. I would be interested to know what everyone thinks about this topic. Topping off with very low PH water has to have some affect on the overall PH in the tank.

I have a tupperware bowl of Red Sea for you. Let me know if have time tomorrow and we can meet up.

Let me know what your day looks like on Monday. I will have a few cups of Red Sea with me.

So let me ask, I have always used bleach to clean out my RO/DI. And from what I understand, bleach will dissapate when it's exposed to the air and a good rinsing. With that, bleach would be a safe method of cleaning an empty tank, right? Am I doing somethigh wrong here?

Ah. I wont be leaving work till like 3:00 so maybe we can meet up another time. Say Monday? I work off 183/Mopac and could bring some salt to work on Monday. I see that you are fairly close.

I will be there this afternoon to do a little shopping. What time are you available?

Did anyone test the regular Red Sea? I switched to Red Sea from Oceanic and could run some test this weekend during my water change if anyone is interested. I dont have a reef tank but can still test calcium, KH, and phosphate is you would like. I could also donate some salt if someone with a more precise test kit would like to gather the results. I am using API for my kits. James

Hello everyone. I just wanted to interduce myself and describe my current setup. First off, my name is James. I had been out of the saltwater hobby for serveral years and decided to get back into it early this year. I currently have a 135G Oceanic RR, 29G sump, Octopus NW200 skimmer, and a bunch of cheap RIO's, 140 pounds of sand, and 70 pounds of live rock. More rock will be added as time goes on. The tank is currently a FOWLR, but may become reef down the road. Alos in the works is 14G Oceanic Bio-Cube. I got this from a friend with a nice 20 pound rock and the sand for free. I am currently building a stand and will complete the setup this weekend. This will most likely house a few low-light corals and a small clean-up crem, not any fish. I have been spending alot of time on Reef Central reading and sometimes responding to questions and answers. It amazing how many things have changed in the 8 years I was out of the hobby. I look forward to being helped by this site and helping others as well. Thanks for reading... James
