We’ve ordered and are recieving a series of equipment to measure Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia, dissolved Oxygen, pH, salinity, temperature, Phosphate, alkalinity, Chloride, hardness, Iron, and Sulfite in the tanks’ waters. Now we can gather more information about the environment these microbes are thriving in.

I graduated with my PhD at the University of Colorado, Boulder and have a Microbiology BS from University of California, Davis. Currently, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at Oregon State University. My interest lies in discovering the emergent properties of how host-associated microbial communities respond to disturbances or perturbations to host health.

You should test all the equipment out on control samples where you know the answer (i.e., where you know what the pH, nitrate, salinity, etc is) before you use it on the real samples …
