It like my tank is on standby

. I have not yet posted in the Maine aquarium site but will. If anybody would like to please feel free. I was thinking about the lack of progress last night actually.

Still waiting on BRS to get my calibration fluids to me. This weekend I will be crafting a ghetto probe holder with egg crate, and installing the ph monitor. When are you moving Justin?

I told u I will handle out of state affairs and as much as I enjoy Maine and I do love it there it's to cold for me "I can't get there from here as they say"

I was cleaning up yesterday and found an extra 4 ph packet sorry if I knew I would have sent that too

I posted on Maineaquaria today. I will check later to see if there are any responses. Where does everyone live? Just a region is good for now or even a county.

As far as I've ever known from working with Penny years back her way of "raising mandarins" was just getting them to feed on frozen PE mysis and nothing more. She's never been setup for breeding anything other than dwarf sea horses last I knew. That said, It's been a couple years since I've been up there but considering the difficulty and the fact that she's such a small business I'd think it unlikely that she's taken on actually raising mandarins.
