Re: [APD] Hell Froze over
Hell must of frozen over, George has now posted 4 in a row:-)
Come on George, folks here miss ya(at least the ones that have
been around that long:-)
Speaking of Hell, I have been making Redox probes like a mad man
for some wetland soil time series test.
I'll see if I can make a doze or so and see how the redox
behaves as the tank grows in well and gets more estblished root
systems.
Since I can make them myself, I can afford many and make them
any size/length.
I can measure the redox in any substrate and depth over time and
see how peat, NH4, Fe, laterite, etc affects things.
Most tanks take about 2-4 weeks to estblish, but adding mulm
seems to instantly cycle a tank, but what about the anoxic
layers?
There are the micro sites that have lower/higher Redox levels so
a grain of salt maybe needed. But doing 5 probes per tank and
taking a reading once every few days/daily can give us an idea
of the redox changes over a month in the intial set up.
I've never measured the peat additions in terms of redox, but if
I can target 150-250 mv, that would ideal.
Still, better than paying 40-60$ a probe.
I'm doing an OM content of various wetland soils at the moment
and comparing the redox over time for the 3 and we have 6 probes
in each soil type. One has no SO4, the other does and one has
low OM.

Tom Barr
