    Paratore's Frag Tank Build

    Looks good what lens did you get and for what iPhone?

    This is the lens I got, it went up a couple bucks but it works really well. Only down side is that you have to be within and inch from the coral for it to focus. I use it on my iPhone 6 but I think you could use it on any of the iPhones. 167bbe33c86badb70ade1c2e9aeb0e4b.jpg

    Good Hanna Checker?

    in Equipment

    Posted

    keep in mind there is a phosphorus and a phosphate one, the difference being phosphorus measures in parts per billion opposed to the other in parts per million. I personally like others aim to have .06 "Phosphates" in which i find the phosphates checker to do just fine in helping me read my levels whereas the phosphorus checker will give a more complex reading that unless understood can look a bit intimidating. Some people prefer to get the exact number whereas if you have are not to knowledgeable in how phosphates are made up the phosphates checker might be the better option for you. :)

    Well thank you for letting me know, looks like I'll have to do my homework before deciding which one to get. I'll probably end up going with just the simple phosphate checker ha.

    Second question. I'm not sure where my phosphates actually are, they always read 0 ppm with my API test. Would you recommend the ultra low one or the normal test?

    I'm thinking about picking up some Hanna checkers, because the color changing titration tests are driving me nuts! I'm just horrible at seeing the "right" color change.

    Anyways, what checkers do you guys recommend? I know I want an ALK one but other than that I'm not sure. Suggestions?

     

    I'm keeping lots of SPS and zoas right now so my nutrient levels are important. There are just so many checkers and I could use some help narrowing the options down.

    Thanks!

    WTB- Acrylic Frag Rack

    in Want to Buy / Trade

    Posted · Edited by Paratore

    I'm looking to get some acrylic frag racks for my frag tank. Does anyone have any laying around? Found one, still looking for a second

    Let me know what you've got!

    Figured I would look local before buying online. I can do either cash or trade for corals!

    WTS- 6ft 400W metal halide/T12 fixture

    in Classified Threads

    Posted

    Alright folks, posting this up for my father.

    I've got a 6ft fixture up for grabs. It consists of three 400W metal halides and two T12 bulbs. The fixture comes with two ballasts, one is a single and the other is a double. Used this above his 180 but now he has gone with LEDs. The super atinic bulb was replaced about a month before he took out this fixture.

    The fixture is also made up of three sections. Each section consists of a metal halide bulb and its reflector. So you can take it apart if you would like.

    Disclaimer: The single ballast needs a new start capacito . It does not fire up, I had someone look at it and they said the the capacito was shot but could be replaced for $15.

    He is looking to get $150 obo. Or a nice coral pack for his tank.

    Thanks for looking!!
