Didn't one of the stores over there in Hayward have one of those automatic test stations? While it's not free, could be convenient.

I'm curious what store in Hayward has the automatic test stations?

 

[FeliciaLynn]

Me too! I've never heard of this.

My bad, it was Dublin not Hayward, at Aquarium Concepts, or at least so says their website (the water testing machine place not AC)

Note: I in no way know if this is any good or not, I just read an article about it some time back and thought it was a neat idea.

Cool! I have never noticed that at Aquarium Concepts, but their store is huge so I'm sure I could have easily overlooked it. I don't mind testing my water myself, but that's definitely an interesting concept.

Well that video is obviously from an aquarium show (at least I hope they don't have all those obnoxious flashy lights). But heard when they initially announced it I think they said like a buck a test, which for some tests isn't worth it, but other tests would be money well spent for me (things like magnesium always have issues with)

Boooo!

 

[aqua-nut]

Boooo!

Who/what are you boo-ing, Erin?

Testing? Not all of us have water tests built into our fingers like you.

Booing Mike? Now that I understand!

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Na
Booing that it was too busy to test the water
No harm no foul
Peace n love to all
