Water Analysis - How Often?

September 11, 2008 · Filed Under Aquarium Water Chemistry 

Proper marine aquarium management and maintenance requires periodic testing which is carried out by means of water analysis. This can be done by selecting good test kits and using them properly is an important skill for all of us. Two methods are chemical tests or we can use electronic instruments for fast, accurate assessments of water chemistry.

How Often?
Checking up or water analysis should be done on our marine aquarium on a weekly basis.

Therefore keeping track of changing water conditions in the marine tank means that we must periodically carry out water tests and keep a record of the results. Without keeping our result the new information form the next test becoe meaningless, the test equipment used must be sufficiently accurate for the purpose, and the actual testing must be done correctly. Shoddy equipment and / or sloppy technique will inevitably produce results that do not reflect actual conditions in the tank.


Such a situation is potentially more dangerous than ignoring test altogether. Hence means that bad data leads to bad results, quality and acurate testing will ensure the well-being of the tank’s inhabitants.

When doing water analaysis you will check for the variables as in the Marine Aquarium Water Quality Parameters.
