I use reef escape exclusively in the area and have always been pleased with my purchases. I have never had any issue with their fish bringing a disease into my tank. That is worth any difference in cost, which isn’t that much anyway. When I purchase online for rare varieties of fish, I quarantine myself and it is a giant pain in the butt. Darren

Thanks for being a great shop and supporter of wamas! My son and I enjoyed stopping in your facility (my son is a freshwater guy and I’m the salt fanatic). Best of luck on the freshwater business Darren

Welcome back Darren

Merry Christmas WAMAS! Hard to believe this is my 20th year as a WAMAS member. Darren

Is the aquarium still available? Darren

Monti’s are notoriously known for being sensitive to magnesium levels, so I would start there (echo DajMasta)….usually lower levels is what bothers them. Darren

Correct, triton only offers OES and NDOC. I agree with your reliability concerns, Sanjay did a study at reef builders that had the same water tested at different locations and all the results were different. I use ICP primarily to look for contamination, not for trace element dosing. I run the tests twice a year. Darren

If anyone is looking for an alternative I have used TRITON-Lab for years and have been happy with them Darren

Welcome back Darren

I too struggle with salinity, I use a refractometer and will get different readings from two different calibration fluids that are supposed to be the same ppt. Maybe I should look more closely at the hydrometer. Thanks for posting your strategy. Darren

Cool hobby! Now you need some opal to work with 🙂 Darren

Nice growth, I am really digging that rhomboid wrasse! Darren

Is this still on? Darren

I love this idea….my son and I go to reef escape all the time, we would definitely be in. Darren
