Saltwater Eddies, LLC | Testing http://www.saltwatereddies.com/ Thu, 9 Sep 2010 13:45:01 -0500 en Hanna Digital Instruments Phosphate (LR) Photometer with 890 nm LED Phosphates are particularly important for the growth and development of plant roots, and hence are one of the most common fertilizers used in agriculture. In addition, phosphates are usually utilized in detergents and are needed, in small quantities, for heating systems. However, high concentrations of phosphates can cause environmental pollution: they are for example a primary cause of eutrophication. For these reasons, it is necessary to closely monitor the phosphate levels present in aquariums, hydroponics, civil and industrial waste water. In order to cater to the different needs of users in a wide array of applications, the HANNA phosphate meters have been designed to cover the following ranges: - From 0.00 to 2.50 mg/L (HI 93713) 2 year warranty.

HANNA's HI 96822 Digital Refractometer is a rugged portable, water resistant device that utilizes the measurement of the refractive index to determine the salinity of natural and artificial seawater, ocean water or brackish intermediates. The HI 96822 benefits from HANNA's years of experience as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. This digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers and is rugged and portable enough to be used at home, in the lab and out in the field. The HI 96822 is an optical device that is quick and easy to use. After a simple user calibration with distilled or deionized water, a seawater sample can be introduced into the sample well. Within seconds, the refractive index and temperature are measured and converted into one of 3 popular measurement units: Practical Salinity Units (PSU), Salinity in parts per thousand (ppt), or Specific Gravity (S.G. (20/20)). All conversion algorithms are based upon respected scientific publications using the physical properties of seawater (not sodium chloride). Temperature (in C or F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement on the large dual level display along with icons for Low Power and other helpful message codes.

The concentration of these salts determines the water hardness, which can be expressed in calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate. The sum of these two represents the total hardness level. The presence of dissolved salts is due to the fact that water often comes from underground sources which are in turn made up of rain water filtered through deep ground layers. Rain water eventually reaches a waterproof flooring and forms a natural tank which is also called the water bearing stratum. By passing through the various layers of soil and rock, rain water dissolves some of the mineral substances. Hardness is a consequence of the type of rock layers which the water passes through and of its permanence in the water bearing stratum. In addition, this parameter is also related to the phenomenon of pipe rusting in water heating and cooling systems, reverse osmosis and demineralization plants. HANNA offers two different meters to measure magnesium and calcium, results are expressed in CaCO equivalent.

SALINTEST Worldwide, fish farming has made great strides in the past two decades with aquaculture becoming the prime source for quality seafood in an ever growing industry. As the methods and products keep changing, one crucial factor remains the same: the necessity for salinity testing of the water. The main component of salt in seawater is sodium chloride. The SALINTEST can help you monitor the concentration of sodium chloride, assuring high surety in aquaculture systems. SALINTEST is also ideal for marine fish tanks and aquariums. Instruments for measuring salinity of seawater currently available on the market are cumbersome and difficult to use. HANNA has re-engineered this compact salt tester with a more durable, ergonomic casing and a larger LCD. Besides applications in aquaculture, SALINTEST is also ideal for checking salt concentrations in live fish storage tanks, tropical fish aquariums, refrigerated storage and oceanographic investigations.

Calcium is a major constituent of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft and leather corals. Calcium also fulfills many biological functions. Quite often a too low calcium concentration retards coral and calcareous algae growth. NSW contains 400 to 450 mg per liter calcium. Which is also the value we should strive for. For a stable aquarium environment the fluctuation in calcium content should preferably not more than approx. 15 mg per liter. This automatically means that the calcium test should be able to monitor comparable fluctuations. Conclusion, In a healthy aquarium growth and multiplication of corals, desired calcareous algae and other organisms results in calcium depletion. Because of the importance of calcium timely corrective measures would have to be taken. For that purpose a proper calcium additive together with an accurate test kit are required. Our calcium test is capable in resolving the calcium content in 10 mg per liter steps. The color change is sharp and facilitates the detection of small but highly significant fluctuations in the calcium concentration. Salifert is the only one in offering a true accuracy and precision as claimed. The kit can perform approx. 50 to 100 measurements. Saliferts Coral Calcium additive is manufactured using a very special procedure. This results in a highly concentrated additive that not only makes calcium addition easy, it also avoids that the ionic balance is disturbed when used in combination with our KH plus pH Buffer or any other sodium based buffer. Common additives, which contain only calcium chloride or improperly use of kalkwasser (calcium hydroxide), can upset the ionic balance resulting in aquarium water very different from NSW.

Washing fish food (a rich source of phosphates) after thawing can significantly reduce the input of phosphate, and using a high grade, phosphate free activated carbon can also help to keep phosphate levels as low as possible. The Salifert Phosphate test kit detects, in less than 5 seconds, the level of phosphate present. There are two different ranges within the kit: a low range for phosphate-phosphor from 0.01 - 1 mg/L and a medium range for phosphate-phosphor from 0.02 - 2 mg/L. Sufficient for 60 tests. Can be used for marine, fresh and garden pond water Shipment Dimensions: * Weight: 0.15 lb * Height: 5 in * Width: 4 in * Depth: 2 in California and Washington State Sales Tax Notice: In most cases CA, and in all cases WA customers will be charged actual sales tax reflecting their county's tax rate.

Performing the tests Included in the Marine Lab will assist in establishing and maintaining a successful aquarium. Marine Lab includes tests for: pH, Alkalinity, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate. Includes a 0.85 fl.oz. trial bottle of Success Buff supplement. A stable pH is essential for the well being of all aquarium inhabitants. Alkalinity measures the capacity of seawater to absorb the acidic waste produced by fish, without affecting the pH. Maintaining an alkalinity of 2.2 meq/l will prevent sudden fatal drops in pH. Both pH and alkalinity should be tested regularly. Alkalinity level can be adjusted by using a buffering solution such as Success Buff. Ammonia, which is toxic for fish, is regularly introduced into the aquarium by fish waste. An established functioning Biological Filter, which house living colonies of nitrifying bacteria, will convert the ammonia to nitrite and thereafter to nitrate, which are less harmful. Regular testing for ammonia & nitrite will provide a positive indication that your Biological Filter is functioning is in balance with the stocking level. Invertebrates react distressfully to low levels of nitrate. High nitrate levels will stress marine fish making them susceptible to infection. Excess nitrate is removed by partial water changes with nitrate-free water. Regular testing for nitrate will guide you as to when these essential water changes should be made. For more information on the tests included in the marine lab, please refer to the individual test-lab pages. Test for NH4, NO2, NO3, pH high, Alkalinity.

Every time the fish are fed, some Phosphate is introduced into the aquarium. Waste products of the fish and bacterial breakdown of food remains also introduce Phosphate into the water. In nature a true Phosphorus cycle exists. Phosphate is an important plant fertilizer that stimulates plant growth at very low concentrations. The Phosphate level in unpolluted natural waters is always very low, and Plants use so much that there is always a demand for it. In the aquarium, the fish density is much higher than in nature. In most aquariums the plant growth is insufficient to use up all the Phosphate that is added with feeding, therefore it accumulates in the water. This leads to several undesirable effects, in particular blue, green and hair algae find favorable conditions and grow very fast. Marine invertebrates like corals may loose their zooxanthellae, (tiny brown algae that live in the tissue of invertebrates leading to degeneration and eventually to the death of these sensitive animals. Especially in a reef aquarium, the Phosphate level should be checked every week. The concentration should be as low as possible with 0.3 ppm as an absolute maximum for the reef aquarium. Higher concentrations than this value are not in any way toxic for marine or freshwater fish - the danger lies only in the fact that the water gets over fertilized, which results in algae growth and harm to invertebrates.

It is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the water. The scale runs from zero to 14. Zero is the most acidic, 7 is neutral and 14 is the most basic. A change of 1 pH unit, for example from 7 to 6, means that the water gets 10 times more acidic. Due to its chemistry, saltwater is able to absorb a certain amount of acidic matter without a resulting change in pH. The substances in the water that do this are called buffers. The ability of water to withstand changes in pH is called buffer capacity. Based on a method of measuring buffer capacity it is referred to as the alkalinity of seawater. In some of the literature alkalinity is termed "Carbonate Hardness" or "KH Carbonate Buffer". This is exactly the same measurement as is measured in the Alkalinity Mini-Lab Test. pH and alkalinityThe pH of natural seawater varies geographically in the world's oceans between 8.1 and 8.4. On a local scale the pH is however remarkably stable. This is due to dissolved buffers (mainly bicarbonates), which prevent pH changes. Because of the enormous volume of the ocean, a nearly inexhaustible stock of buffers are present: the sea can take up large amounts of acids, without a noticeable change in pH. Compared to the sea the volume of a marine aquarium is very limited and therefore the alkalinity is also limited. As fish produce acid waste products and as the buffering substances are used up by calcareous algae and invertebrates, the buffer capacity may become so low that the pH could suddenly fall. This would be very dangerous to all organisms in the aquarium. The alkalinity is measured in so called milli-equivalents of alkaline substances (for example sodium bicarbonate) per liter. These alkaline substances have the power to prevent pH drops. The alkalinity of natural seawater is approximately 2.5 milli-equivalents per liter. This level should also be maintained in the marine aquarium. A common symptom of an unsuitable pH is pH-stress. Especially in the marine aquarium, unsuitable pH values are very stressful to fish, and increase the chance of the fish being susceptible to disease (marine white spot). To maintain a correct and stable pH, check the pH and alkalinity weekly. Recommendations:A low pH should be corrected by a 10% water change every day until the right pH is reached. A low alkalinity should be corrected by firstly making a 10% water change. Re-check the alkalinity and if still low, add Reef Success Buff until a normal level can be reached. It is permissable to add Red Sea's Marine Success Buff. If a more accurate test is required, purchase Alkalinity Pro Test, which is part of the Red Sea Coral Kit. Maintaining a stable pH and a high buffer capacity of your aquarium can be achieved in several ways. Change 10% of your aquarium water every week, Red Sea's Red Sea Salt is particularly suitable as it is rich in natural buffers, enabling you to keep the buffer capacity at the optimum level. Weekly water changes should be accompanied by regular addition of a buffering solution such as Red Sea's Reef Success Buff supplement which contains carbonates and bicarbonates of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Boron in a balanced formula.

In solution the total dissolved Ammonia changes between 2 forms, the toxic Ammonia (NH3) and less harmful Ammonium ions (NH4+ ) according to the pH and temperature of the water. The Red Sea Mini-Lab Ammonia test measures the concentration of total Ammonia present. In any aquarium the majority of the total Ammonia will be in the form of less harmful Ammonium ions (NH4+ ). A percentage of the Ammonium ions (NH4+ ) change as the pH increases, to the more toxic Ammonia (NH3). Consequently, in marine aquariums with pH 8.1-8.4, Ammonia will present a more serious problem than in freshwater tanks with pH around 7, since more toxic Ammonia will be formed. Concentrations of toxic Ammonia as low as 0.01 ppm already show negative effects on fish, while 0.1 ppm can be deadly to some species. When to test for Ammonia? New AquariumsRegular testing of the Ammonium level, pH and temperature, is very important in a newly set up aquarium where high levels of Ammonia are normal. As the new aquarium and the biological filter develop, nitrifying bacteria begin to break down the toxic Ammonia to a safe level, so that more animals can gradually be introduced. We advise to test daily for two to four weeks in a new aquarium. Established AquariumsEven low Ammonia levels stress and weaken the fish, which makes them more susceptible to parasitic infections such as white spot. Ammonia poisoning is usually displayed by acute symptoms of fish swimming very rapidly as in panic; or breathing very rapidly; or jumping out of the water. The chronic symptoms are gill and skin damage and sometimes color fading. At the first sign of any of the above symptoms test for Ammonia. Ammonia levels may rise in older aquariums, when the biological filter substrate has been damaged, for example after administration of a medicine. Also a blocked or fouled filter as well as decaying matter in the tank, may give rise to toxic Ammonia levels.

It is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the water. The scale runs from zero to 14. Zero is the most acidic, 7 is neutral and 14 is the most basic. A change of 1 pH unit, for example from 7 to 6, means that the water gets 10 times more acidic. Due to its chemistry, saltwater is able to absorb a certain amount of acidic matter without a resulting change in pH. The substances in the water that do this are called buffers. The ability of water to withstand changes in pH is called buffer capacity. Based on a method of measuring buffer capacity it is referred to as the alkalinity of seawater. In some of the literature alkalinity is termed "Carbonate Hardness" or "KH Carbonate Buffer". This is exactly the same measurement as is measured in the Alkalinity Mini-Lab Test. pH and alkalinityThe pH of natural seawater varies geographically in the world's oceans between 8.1 and 8.4. On a local scale the pH is however remarkably stable. This is due to dissolved buffers (mainly bicarbonates), which prevent pH changes. Because of the enormous volume of the ocean, a nearly inexhaustible stock of buffers are present: the sea can take up large amounts of acids, without a noticeable change in pH. Compared to the sea the volume of a marine aquarium is very limited and therefore the alkalinity is also limited. As fish produce acid waste products and as the buffering substances are used up by calcareous algae and invertebrates, the buffer capacity may become so low that the pH could suddenly fall. This would be very dangerous to all organisms in the aquarium. The alkalinity is measured in so called milli-equivalents of alkaline substances (for example sodium bicarbonate) per liter. These alkaline substances have the power to prevent pH drops. The alkalinity of natural seawater is approximately 2.5 milli-equivalents per liter. This level should also be maintained in the marine aquarium. A common symptom of an unsuitable pH is pH-stress. Especially in the marine aquarium, unsuitable pH values are very stressful to fish, and increase the chance of the fish being susceptible to disease (marine white spot). To maintain a correct and stable pH, check the pH and alkalinity weekly. Recommendations:A low pH should be corrected by a 10% water change every day until the right pH is reached. A low alkalinity should be corrected by firstly making a 10% water change. Re-check the alkalinity and if still low, add Reef Success Buff until a normal level can be reached. It is permissable to add Red Sea's Coral Buff. Maintaining a stable pH and a high buffer capacity of your aquarium can be achieved in several ways. Change 10% of your aquarium water every week, Red Sea's Red Sea Salt is particularly suitable as it is rich in natural buffers, enabling you to keep the buffer capacity at the optimum level. Weekly water changes should be accompanied by regular addition of a buffering solution such as Red Sea's Coral Buff supplement which contains carbonates and bicarbonates of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Boron in a balanced formula.
