Curious to see the update water test results since I have been pretty happy with recent growth. Guessing there might be a slight deficiency in magnesium, but otherwise in great shape.

Lab Water Test Update
I only test two parameters on a regular basis, salinity and alkalinity. Every few months water samples are sent to AquariumWaterTesting.com for a full review of water chemistry.
Today I sent out samples and tested my water prior to sending for a comparison of what I currently test at home.
Salinity:
Home Test - 1.026 (34.6 ppt)
AWT Test - 1.023 ????
Alkalinity:
Home Test - 7.1 dKH (2.54 meq/L)
AWT Test - 7.5 dKH (2.61 meq/L)
Other:
