I have a clarification question regarding my alkalinity test. I have a Red Sea testing kit. I included a picture of the instructions and the reference page. The instructions say to add one drop of the KH indicator to obtain the “start” color. What’s confusing me is that my “start” color is a much lighter blue than the color they show. Should I add multiple drops to obtain the same color they show, and then start counting my drops? Or should I start counting drops right after my first drop, even though my start color is so light? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! I imagine this will be an easy question to answer for someone with experience 🙂

Can I completely ignore Ca, Mg, PO4 for now and introduce corals later?
Muffin87 posted a topic in Beginners Discussion
Hello! I've just ordered my first nano reef tank kit, it's a 15 gallon tank. Can I do things in this order? start cycling my tank testing for pH dKH, NH3, NO2, NO3 (ignoring Ca, Mg, Po4) finish cycling my tank introduce fish: (2 ocellaris, 1 gramma loreto) FOWLR phase: use some months to familiarise myself with fish-keeping with no corals Start testing for Ca, Mg, PO4 as well Introduce corals If I started testing for Ca, Mg and PO4 after months of ignoring them, and the values were all terrible, would they be that difficult to adjust in order to introduce corals? I'm a bit confused by 'cycling products' like "Red Sea Mature Pro", which make your tank coral-ready. It gave me the impression I must plan ahead for coral-keeping, even if corals are gonna come much later. Thanks! -
Looking for opinions on best testing kits to use while cycling a new tank and thereafter. We’re planning on being pretty vigilant and patient when cycling this new tank up and are interested in what everyone else recommends. I did not realize there were so many brands ?
