Yeah, I just checked the delivery picture for that LiveAquaria box... It looks like a fish tank stand. Definitely not my order.

Maybe they are just preempting your next "Win A Free Tank!!" win?

Hydros Minnow is supposed to be delivering tomorrow, Reef by Steele tomorrow, and Polo Reef Swag on Saturday. Waiting on tracking for the X4 but that comes directly from Hydros so I'm not sure if I'll get tracking or if it'll just show up.

What swag do you have coming from Polo?

What swag do you have coming from Polo?

Not sure. Supposed to be an Oceano ICP and "swag pack" which the picture was a backup, hat, and water bottle.

 

[tbrown]

And Hydros X4 has shipped and should be here Saturday!

WaveEngine LE and Gyre 2k are ordered!

Actually it's sitting next to me. Probably too big for the 70 though.

Hollywood Stunner taken with yellow filter and macro lens. Good enough for POTM?

Otherwise we've got the Jolly Rancher but it's too far for a Macro shot so it's just yellow filter:

Good enough, but a little out of focus in the right. Would be up there with the other macro shots, but in an impartial judging, the ones most in focus would have an edge. I like the stunner a bit more as it's a close-up. Chalices are great for close-ups.

That first picture is f'n incredible, dude. Nicely done!

I don't know enough yet to give advice on photography, so I'll just leave a compliment where it is due.

I'm currently looking into DIY alkalinity testing. Sounds interesting and doable. Maybe I'll set up a system one of these days?

Looks like 3 dosing heads and a pH probe is what's needed (plus a testing container).

Are you following through with this ?

Yes!
Definitely

The Stunner is definitely out of focus on the right so I tried adding vignette but it likely made it worse...

The Minnow is out for delivery this morning. Once I get the pH probe (Saturday according to FedEx) I have a few more items to order off Amazon and then I'll mix some 0.1 N hydrochloric acid and check against my Hanna Alkalinity and Salifert tests. If that gives good results I'm definitely going to set it up to be able to run these "automatically" manually.

So hopefully?
