Test? Lol
I know it sounds crazy but I’m trying to gauge how much of the big 3 is being consumed currently. I’m a numbers kind of guy. I’m not as good as many (if not most) of you at just eyeing the system and knowing whether CAL, ALK, MAG, etc is high or low. I can tell when nitrates and phosphates are high or low looking at the system at least. I guess for me, having the security actual numbers provide gives me peace of mind. Once I can actually gauge the way my tank looks when the big 3 are high or low I won’t test as much.

My return pump is squealing occasionally. Sounds like a squeaky belt from a car. I'm going to order another one for safety before I try to disassemble and clean this one. Probably has one of those pesky tiny collinista snails in it.

I have two, except when they blow their coats. Then it’s 20!

Dang aussie sheps and their magical fibers of love and allergies.
All 4 of mine are Shep mixes. Lab/Aussie, Husky/German, Mini Aussie/Heeler, and Mini Aussie/Klee Klai.

I forgot to mention that I won’t be chasing numbers here. I’m more concerned with seeing how much consumption of the big three takes place over time. That and being able to gauge by eye when I need to make adjustments. I’ve done the number chasing thing. It never ends well.

Ok Café Crew, I'm not amazing with coral IDs and am looking for a little help here. Originally I was thinking Stylophora. Either a Rainbow or Milka probably. Thoughts?

Flesh is kinda pinkish, tips are neon green/almost white, polyps are deep red to purple. I'm thinking more Milka than Rainbow.
