    I just noticed my nitrite meter measures in ppb. I guess I thought it was ppm. At least I'll know when it is alsolutely undetectable. I think I'll test my running tanks to see if they show any at all. 1 ppb is pretty darn small.

    It always makes me frustrated when companies write things like using tap water is okay. Leads too many new people into thinking it's ok.

    Great thread. Can't wait to see the results.

    Awesome thread! I personally used Seachem Stability to set up my 26g. Using dry Pukani and pink aragonite :) Nice to see it's being compared to others I've yet to use.
