Well they weren't lying to you. The jug showed up today - which blew my mind considering I ordered it two days ago. There was no box, no instructions - just a small jug. I checked out the web site and sure enough, it's meant for a dosing I don't have one so I found an unused syringe for dosing. Not a big deal. I guess we'll see how well this stuff works in conjunction with ProBioticS.

Hehe, nothing on the jug about dosing? The Component 1+2+3+ have instructions written on the jugs, but no instructions on paper are supplied.

Nope. Nothing at all on the jug. Oh well I'm glad I found some instructions on the web site.

Are you dosing ProBioS and NP Pro daily, Myka? I thought I read somewhere that if you're dosing NP Pro that you only need to dose ProBioS for two weeks and then NP Pro will sustain the bacteria going forward.

Anyone using Aquaforest Reef Salt ever measure calcium of fresh salt water? I just received a Hanna checker for calcium the other day and this morning I decided to measure it - it came out to 474. Is that consistent with other people's measurements?

420 my last check

Mine was something between 420-440. Cant remember precisely.

I don't like the Hanna Calcium checker -it always reads about 50 ppm higher than Salifert and Elos when I used it.

*grumble*

Really? I was using a Red Sea test kit and it was waaaay off. I was measuring ~360 in my display so I started dosing kalk to bring it up. I could never get it higher than 380 - which I thought was weird. I tested the display yesterday and it was around 490 which was when I realized my Red Sea kit was out to lunch. I was expecting the Hanna checker to be a silver bullet.

Doh! I think I've been messing up on my testing procedures. I'll perform another test tomorrow and see what comes out of it.
