Well a lot going on today, all family will be in and we have rehearsal and dinner tonight and well, you all know what is going on tomorrow. So I guess this is the post you have all been waiting for, some time today I will be singing off for a couple days, I think I just heard cheering, which will give you a much needed and deserved break from my nonsensical babbling, enjoy!

Enjoy yourself Kevin! We'll miss you, but we'll hand your torch off to @luis angel for the next couple days. We'll let you know how he does!

My results weren't too bad! Wondering if I should address my strontium or if that's nothing to worry about as a Google search says 8-10 so probably just do water changes?

Maybe. I think its relatively new.

People have been running ozone since the 70's Camden so it's not a new idea.
It will not harm you as long as you use it properly with good, new equipment and lines but in your case, I wouldn't find it necessary to use.
It provides extreme water clarity and aeration but it's not something to use unless you are extremely up on how to use it and it's really unnecessary for most of us.
The generators are also expensive.
I'd rather see you put your money into lighting.
It's extremely hard on the plastic lines it uses and I've seen it wreck a few skimmers over the years.
I don't think you should spend any money going this route, but if you do, I'm here to help you.

Good morning Keith! I know it’s 5:00pm somewhere but don’t you think it’s a little early?

No sir it is not! However, since I am at work, it'll have to wait.
