How often do you test your water parameters?


biweekly...right before every waterchange!

Hey, there's no option for NEVER.

I figure I probably do it about once a month at the moment. No problems really, and I keep up with water changes, so I don't have too much reason to be checking. Tanks only been up for about 5 months, but the only thing I've lost were some nerites that I'm guessing I didn't acclimate properly. Half died, half survived.

only when something goes wrong, whuch has (luckilly) pretty much meant never after my cycle. I do feel guilt about this, like I should do it more often though.

Every two weeks, one week after partial water change

I taste mine every now and then. Does that count for anything?

I let my corals tell me when to test. They are a great indicator of problems. So far, havent had any pproblems, but i religiously keep up on Water changes and maintenance.

Daily or few times daily when adding something new, cycling or if anything goes wrong. Would like to keep live monitors to know when testing is necessary.

I voted daily. I check salinity everyday. I check alk and calcium every other day and I check mag twice a month.

I'm terrible with water testing. I test once a month, unless a coral starts looking bad.

Every couple months on all my tanks.
I do weekly water changes, so the water parameters NEVER change..... EVER.

I still dont have a salt water test kit though, I am trying to find out if my freshwater kit will work on it with accurate results (it works, I just don't know if its accurate or not)
