So I'm trying to test my water on my saltwater tank and this is what I have

From Left to Right
PH - Ammonia - Nitrite - Nitrate

I been told by a experienced aquarist that freshwater test kit and saltwater test kit from API it's the same the only difference it's that the SW kit doesn't bring low range pH

and ...

I seen on the petstore selling individuals bottles example: ammonia that says FRESH/SALTWATER so I'm assuming he's right about the test solutions bottles

ok so the saltwater results have a different color chart then the freshwater and since I don't have a SW kit I don't have the SW color chart

I will look online and try to compare the color by myself but please understand something

I AM COLORBLIND

some colors I can't see or identify it

So there are my results after 10 minutes:

pH

ammonia

nitrite

Nitrate


Just looking at my results can you tell my water parameters ?

Remember I'm using API freshwater master kit (it's supposed to be the same) ]]> Reefs for Beginners duromega http://www.reefsmagazine.com/showthread.php?t=147029 Took down Frag tank, equipment for sale http://www.reefsmagazine.com/showthread.php?t=147028&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 03:21:09 GMT Hi, I have the following items for sale from the frag tank break down. 1) Vortech MP10W ES, production date july, 2011 = $180 Image: http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z432/jcdeng/IMG_2708_zps96f83bac.jpg 2) Hydor Nano Skimmer (up to 35 gallon version), used 8 months = $70 (sorry no box)...

They are $50 each or I ll trade for cpr hob aquafuge or an rodi. I ll trade for corals if you have open brain, a nice colony of green birdsnest, a nice size of Acropora...
I am running out of salt, so I ll also trade one item for a 200 gallons box of salt. That's $40 in my LFS, but I don't have a car to bring it home. :(

I also have a Craftsman 8 Gallon wet drive vacuum, which I only used once couple weeks ago.

Unfortunately I did not catch him and I managed to rip one of his hands off.

So I recently purchased a 230 gallon aquarium.. I live on the first floor of a 3 family house, no basement or crawl space... Do you guys think it'll be safe?
