Want to borrow Hanna Phosphate ULR

[Max Ivers]

Hello all,

 

I'm looking to borrow a Hanna Instruments Ultra Low Range Phosphorus Colorometer. Anyone have one that they'd be willing to let me use to measure my phosphate? I'm getting 0.00 out of a normal Hanna Phos. Checker, plus I do run an ULNS, so I'm trying to figure out what my true phosphate level is. I'm happy to pay for the reagent for a test or work out something else.

 

I'll be at the social Saturday.

 

Thanks,

 

Max

I just go one - haven't used it yet. I will be going, but will get there late.

Sounds great, I'll be there towards the later side of the social as well.

P = 5

PO4 = 0.015

You might as up reefing

.015ppm? geeeeeezzzzz

[Guest thefishman65]

Well maybe I did something wrong. This is only the second time I have used it.

I ment that in a good way. At least I can know that my problem isnt too much phosphate...confirms my thinking that I have too little, since that reading may be a little smidge higher cause I took the water sample right after feeding. So 5ppb phosphorus and .015ppm PO4?

[Guest thefishman65]

Not AND just depnds on how you want to read it in phosphor or phosphate.

yeah I know, just wanted to confirm the numbers, thank you again for letting me borrow it! I'm very pleased with the results maybe now I'll feed 4x a day and have my autofeeder dump pellets 2x a day...hmmmm...I wonder if fish can get too fat
