red sea marine lab test kit;
P.H.- 8.4
alkalinity- 2.8 very close to high on card
NH3/NH4- 0.25
NO2- 0.05
NO3- 0
That's all the lab kit i got covers. he was in a tank with sand and the bio- foam was 1 year old.
No LR or anything just him. I didn't know i needed the others for what i had. thought the rest where for coral. What can the things not tested for do? I'll keep looking
