SPA-NUT Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I was reading the sticked water maintenance approach by Nitro Here. He mentions the addition of borates into the water chemistry, to serve as a buffer for your PH against aeration in addition to how TA helps stabilize our PH, that and it adds to the silkiness effect in water, both which appeals to me. He mentioned striving for 50ppm but unless I've overlooked it I'm not sure how to test for this, it doesn't seem like your typical parameter in our test kits (I have Taylor K2006 for example). How does one test for Borates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 It requires a different test. I think @waterbearhas a preferred brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
