This thread will be opened for our Live Topic Reef Chat at 9 pm EST.

Live Topic seems to work better if you set your user options to display more posts per page. To best use this forum technology, set your user options to allow you to view the maximum posts per page (40). Go to UserCP-->UserControl Panel Menu-->Edit Options-->Thread Viewing Options-->set to 40.

To get in on the conversation, you should use the quick reply option at the bottom of the thread. The posts will stream as we go. Occasionally, you may still need to manually refresh your page view to catch up in the conversation. Live Topic Reef Chat will automatically update the thread as if it were a live chat as people reply to the topic.

This weeks topic is "Water Quality Parameters". Bring your questions and we can discuss our experiences to figure out what works and what doesn't. Potential items for discussion are testing kits, frequency of testing, salt brands, etc.

[Sir Patrick]

Here also. Where we starting?

[whitetiger61]

ok lets discussion time

[whitetiger61]

how about salinity

[jimsflies]

Salinity...sounds like a good place to start.

[Sir Patrick]

As far as salinity goes, it seems to me to keep other parameters up, 1.025 works best for a reef tank

[jimsflies]

Where do you keep your salinity and how often do you test? what do you use to test?

[Sir Patrick]

anything lower will also mean lower parameters in fresh mixed water
