Great idea! I use a rolling tool chest and use the drawers for supplies. Been working out great. It's nice to be able to move around and not be confined to one space. Are the red containers from ikea as well?

Here it is at home. I ended up buying the floor model because they were fresh out of stock.

What type of putty are you using to attach those frags to your rock? I've been using various super glues and I'm DONE! I'm so sick of them falling and getting knocked off by flow or my snails/urchins (sorry for the little rant)

I like what D-D puts out but no longer can pick it up locally anymore. What I'm using now is Two Little Fishies AquaStik.

Test kit finally arrived. Now I can tune my parameters in. Had my water checked at the LFS the other day and Ca dKH and Mg looked pretty good. dKH was a little on the low side at 6.5. Bumped it up last night so can't wait to see where Im at today. Phosphates were at 0.11ppm so like to see that at least drop to half. New system so I won't be so hard on my self.LOL

I rarely check my phosphates so do not have a way to do so. I went up to my LFS and they used the Hanna Phosphate Low Range Colorimeter.
