A small frag rack is tempting just because I'm running out of room. What I want is a frag rack I can hang from my center brace since that's just open space there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using an autotopoff.com bracket to hold my switch. It works pretty well for me, but that magnetic holder would be much more precise. ATO is one of the few things my Reef Angel can still do. LOL!

Isaac Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 i store my cuvettes w/ ro/di in them... they cant dry out and leave behind scale if they have DI in them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 i store my cuvettes w/ ro/di in them... they cant dry out and leave behind scale if they have DI in them [emoji4]I've been rinsing twice with tap water and then twice with distilled water. I'm probably a little OCD. [emoji41]Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinse multiple times w/ tap (4-5 fills/shakes), upside down to drain on paper towel for a bit, repeat multiple rinses w/ tap, then into a container and fill entire container w/ DI water and typically leave them overnight. Then out to dry upside down on paper towel for a couple of hours, give a good whack on the counter to shake water out before air drying on side.

I rinse in tap water, shake it dry, and put it on the drying rack and walk away. I do the same thing exactly. Rinse in tap once and put on the drying rack. Although, I can see the logic in rinse once and fill with RODI. I guess it would matter a lot for something like PO4. For Alk and Ca I'm much less worried about the test result and more worried about the consistency of the results. Personally, I've never noticed a difference from maintaining 7 dKh/400 ppm or 9 dKH and 500 ppm. I just want to see consistent readings without major changes in fluctuation.

+BobcatReefer Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 If I rinse and dry, there's an obvious blue/green residue left over. In my head, filling a container w/ DI and storing the cuvettes overnight dilutes that residue to an insignificant level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 i do the tests, rinse w/ tap a couple times, top it off w/ di, store it. before use i shake out the DI, put some test water in it to shake it to remove the remainder of the di, empty that, then test. the goal is to have a valid test and not have to waste too much time.

They're always dry by the time I test again. Personally I don't see the need to leave them upside down to drain, most everything will come out with a couple shakes except for some tiny droplets, and they'll just dry on their own, upside down or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
