Is there a way to test phosphates?

Yeah. That's the part where I said I really just need to test though.

I have Hanna Phosphate, Alk, and Nitrate testers I need to use.

If you dont test phosphates they are not high, only when you test they transform to being high. -science based

Filter cup is on the printer. Locked, loaded, started to print.

Only printing the one with the divider for a media bag right now.

 

[tbrown]

I may have underestimated the size of the media bag. Either that or it's going to be perfect!

 

[tbrown]

Printed, rinsed, loaded, installed. Sorry, lights are out so no pictures.

Ordered another Hydros Float Switch today. Also did a 5 gallon water change.

Sold a 3 polyp Stratosphere frag this morning on my way to work (which wasn't really work since I went golfing instead) and posted a couple of colonies on Facebook.

I've gotten lots of interest in the Zoas. Everyone says "Still available?"

Me: Yep!

Them: Cool! Got any smaller, cheaper frags?

Me: Nope!

Them: Ok, thanks for the response.

In other reefing news, today I snowed the tank and made some water for a water change. Maybe later this evening?

Don’t you let it churn a day before you do a water change?

Sometimes. Sometimes I go a week or 3. Sometimes I give it 15-20 minutes. It all depends on how motivated I'm feeling.

The salt I'm using currently actually says in the directions not to stir for more than an hour before using.

Minimum I can only go after 6 -8 hrs . My salt doesn’t mix that fast .

 

[CoralB]

Good night

So my float valve "forgot" to get out on a truck in Illinois so it was delayed at least a day. Then it got to my local UPS hub to be put on a delivery truck and they decided to hand it off to USPS... I don't even know what's going on.

The interesting part of the whole thing is I ordered a jar of fish food with the float valve to bring the price up enough for free shipping (a $5 jar of fish food vs $6 shipping so I figured why not?). Well that delivered yesterday. My puppy got left out of her kennel yesterday while everyone was gone and she ate my free shipping...
