Tank numbers today
Ca 460
Mg 1320
Alk 9.52
Po4 trace to .02
No3 16 ppm

I blasted of the rock work with a turkey baster last night and stirred the substrate a couple of time also last night. After a day of light the red cyano in not back as strong as it has been in the past. Even one of the guys over at WWC in interested in the results of the vibrant, he mentioned it even before I said I start dosing it Friday.

Music is Sinner Man, great blues tune from Nina Simone
My production crew walk out on me, one of the crew decided the top of the warm top of the drier was a better opinion instead of editing music for the video.:oops:

That's very unfortunate [emoji20] . I made a screen mesh top for my tank and had it on for the last 5 months or so. I recently took it off due to the material failing due to the UV light. I sourced the mesh, frame and spline from BRS.

I don't know if I'll make another and change the material out sooner or not. For now I'm running open top until I decide. I have enough materials to make another set.

I going to make one of those fancy acrylic tops with the mesh. Once I go through my trail build of the top, send me your measurements and I will make you one and send it to you.;):)

Wow that would be awesome! I like the idea of having a top, but I like the tank to breath and having something hold up to halides isn't easy .[emoji6]

I have been looking at the fancy one and the only really hard part is finding the mesh. I will cut a template out of plywood and us a router with a bearing to cut everything. Hey @helen ann to you have a top??. If I make one I miswell make everyone happy.

Party Bus?
Matt didn't even tell me it was coming by, I could have been his wing-woman!

Nope, no top ... no fish yet, so wasn't in a rush yet.
