00W's AIO Smorgasbord

I Don't like salifert...also don't like the hanna's... go figure...
API for the win...not copper or salinity would recommend hanna...

I have always used API for my freshwater tanks.

Good night peeps!

Right now my tailspot hides most of the time but so do all the new fish unless it's feeding time.

Goodnight Kevin!

I get it but once her tank is full and beautiful she will have all the time in the world to spa it! She won’t though because she won’t want to leave the house and stop looking at the beauty she created! I’m just playing with you. I hope you are doing better, you are still in my prayers and I can’t wait for you to have the radiation over and hear about a great prognosis!

Hehe, I know your teasing!

And it’s true, it’s hard sometimes to walk away from staring at the lil oceans in our home!

Tuesday is last day of radiation! I’ve started to have more hours of less pain and walked with cane a couple days instead of walker so I am hopeful it will progress more. I’ll know within 3 weeks after treatment how much less pain/weakness I will have. Ultimate goal is to zap those lesions inactive so more bone denigration doesn’t happen.

Also determining what my next option is for chemo as clearly the one I was doing wasn’t working.

It means a lot the consistent love and prayers that come from you and the Smorgasbord family my way. To feel that power coming to me is something I thank God for on a regular basis.

And to mirror Luis’ sentiment, the distraction of our thread works wonders!

So how many exclamation points did I use in this post?!?

Hey @Remi, I forgot to mention that the rock you asked about the other day that's suspended is an Aragocrete rock shelf/frag rack I made.

Only 4. Kinda underwhelming. Next time try for at least 20?

I love the Hanna’s as I can’t see a line on a cuvette or a color chart for the life of me. I do use Red Sea for Calcium and Aquaforest for Mag though based on reviews. I have to say the Aquaforest Mag is soo much easier then others.

And the Hanna salinity/temp probe stick is awesome!

I don’t test for copper. My tank to immature at this point.

Wouldn’t it be cool if that new Colorvue testing machine got all the kinks and worked! The Hydros Launch and Maven that was featured at RAP Orlando this weekend!

5, but I was tired and I actually held back on a few!

It's never to early to test for copper. There are some GAC brands that have recently begun leaching copper. If you're seeing issues that appear to be copper it doesn't hurt to check.

With that said, I've never tested for copper...

Good night guys. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Oh my sorry guys I took a shower and fell asleep in my chair.
Very busy weekend for April not even summer yet. I have no idea where everyone is coming from.
Nothing to eat in the house so I'm having 4 sausages and mustard with a bottle of pellegrino.

Good night guys. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Night Walker!

I've never ever tested for mag or copper.
I still use a swing arm hydrometer.
I used API for my whole career until the past 4 or 5 months I use Hanna for nitrate, phos and alk. They are easy but also I've had a few issues with them as well.
Use API for ph and calcium.
I have really only tested ph and alk lately.
Those seem to be what my tanks telling me is important lately.
Might sound weird but I listen

Well if we're being honest I don't remember the last time I tested the 125. The 70 I tested a few times after setting up. I test for alk and phosphates more than anything after I lost a batch of Acros due to phosphates bottoming out with 10+ alk. I don't remember testing since maybe January...?

Hi @Remi good morning!
