I have a calibration checkset if you want to use, although I won't be able to make it to the swap. I'm in San Jose / Santa Clara.

Now I feel like doing a test for the heck of it. Damn you Robert!

All this fuss and prob go back to IO anyways lol

"Please Note: In-home analysis with commercially available test kits may result in deviation due to variables including test kit type, age, brand, and testing technique." Actually would be nice to know which test method they use... do any manufacturers disclose that?

very interesting... http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4685+38075&pcatid=38075 Parameters Salinity: 35 ppt (1.026 sg) Calcium: 400-450 ppm Magnesium: 1,350-1,450 ppm Alkalinity: 8.0-9.5dKH Strontium: 9 ppm Potassium: 400 ppm

Messing around with iPhone 6 Plus with orange gel filter

Just did 18 gallon mix. 7 cups Fritz, 2.25 cups IO. Salinity 1.0255-1.026 (Refractometer and Milwaukee). Alk 8.5 (Hanna). Ca 430-440 (Salifert). Mag 1420-1440 (Salifert) ... shut off pump, brute lid on, will check back storage results on Monday.

Never thought about it but just saw on another thread. Since I have IO and Fritz in hand, I will try to mix both next water change. About 75/25 Fritz/IO. IO will boost Alk a bit (was getting 7.8-8.0 Fritz) and lower high CA and Mag from Fritz. Wonder if it will help with the Alk storage...

Needed a nickname when I first started multiplayer gaming on our coax dorm network, Warcraft and Warcraft 2. I really liked yellow, wore lots of yellow shirts. Not much rhymed with yellow. I really liked eating jello in the cafeteria. Thus, yellojello. Although I enjoyed red jello more than yellow.

It's best to add the fish boss last when introducing livestock to the aquarium.

I think colored rubber bands might be more reasonable haha

How much 2 part are you dosing before making the carx switch? Might have to jump on bandwagon too!

@Flagg37 how was the Alk stability this time?

When a file fish eats your acros, does it destroy it like in a few hours, over night, few days?

Back on topic, I still enjoy my Salifert calcium. Color change is pretty apparent and easier for me at least.

I guess it's luck of the draw. I got a same day response today... peppermint shrimp out of season until September.

It's been sold out at Neptune and don't have ETA. My peppermint lasted for a few years, but it met its demise when I did a rescape and probably messed up it hiding spots. Plus more wrasses prob didn't help.

The footprint of chaeto reactor is much nicer than waterfall ATS. May have to switch. I've had good luck with peppermint Shrimp for small aptasia.

Chaeto grows super fast. No nuisance algae in tank?

Yea, structural engineer would cost you hundreds maybe even over a thousand more for a small project like yours. We removed a load bearing wall and put in a large cross beam in the ceiling, SE cost $1500. We used Efe from 4x Engineering, but we're in the South Bay. I'm sure others will chime in...
