Liar - your systems are awesome

Thanks. I watched the talk. I am confused about what a hobbyist with home tests is supposed to calculate the ratio, and what ratio they are supposed to use for home tests.

So hanna Nitrate divided by Hanna Phosphate time 1.53 = ratio for 90-110 goal?

Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks!

That is cool! Thank you! I am going to do a section on lanth dosing next time we record. I agree about the skimmer and gfo! And the write up that started this thread is great!

I hate socks for lanth. They clog fast and you need to have active water flow, but not too fast or they will clog faster. This is why I started with the skimmer. I wouldn't trust pads or floss. And my over all use of lanth, based on tanks from 50 gallons to 200000 gallons is do it automated...

Is the phosphate in the ratio of hobbyist units total phosphate (the way FM reports) or inoganic phosphate (the way the Hanna checker reports)? Thanks

THis was originally released in 2021.

Hahha. That sounds like me and Erin talking to each other!

The biggest problem I see that people dose lanth in the skimmer have is being too agressive on the dose. If you are too agressive one the dose, you up the chance that you will get lanth that hasn't reacted going outside of the skimmer body. Start way low and bring it up slowly. :D

Everything is clearly unhelathy - I would start chasing numbers.

Please forgive my spelling!!

I would be totally down to have peopl over for this. Alamda
