Re: how often do you check your parameters
I check mine every few days. I've never had any readings as of yet though. I check salinity a few times a week.

Re: how often do you check your parameters
Captive propagated corals are hardier in reef tanks because they are the off spring of corals that have been able to survive such conditions such as swings in pH between night and day. How ever science has shown it has taken thousands of years for animal life and human live to evolve into what we are and what are needs are and what our systems can handle. It is the selective breeding that is changing the fish and corals in our time frame not the stresses we are putting them through. No significant variances in a reef tank in any of the parameters is still the best you can try for.

Re: how often do you check your parameters
I agree, fatman. I don't want any sig. variances. I know I have to keep a close watch on the tank. I am carefully adjusting my daily lighting times between the white & blue bulbs to stop the growth of what appears to me to be some red slime type stuff.
Coraline seems to be coming along nicely, though. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 75 gal, Nova Ex T-5's, Rena XP-3 filter, various soft corals, fish & invertebrates Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: since 05 Jan 2008 - freshwater for 20 yrs. prior Other Intrests: play guitar badly, scuba dive, fix horse fence & roadie for wife in band.
