Hello,
Wow I missed like two whole pages lol of awesome neat stuff on my one thread. I need to figure how or why my alerts do not show on my own thread lol. So going through all comments and love them all and will address all promise, sorry been crazy busy with work and I just kinda zonked out as my brain said sorry we are closed.
I will say before I go through these great music posts (my favorite hobby, it’s kinda scary but between the 70s and 80s and I being 26 I bet I can name more songs and artists than most older than me but mid 90s and above I am terrible and 60s I’m okay I know mostly Beatles , Rolling Stones, few other groups (the astronauts see how many know them lol).
But lol I will give a fair warning on maintenance for our tanks that slapped me kinda hard. I have a very basic routine and it’s simple mostly. The other day I had to buy a new calcium test kit, I tested it and was at 560 calcium. That was Monday so I didn’t dose. I tested today and cross tested and in one day went from 560 to 390. Both tests confirmed by cross reference with water samples on both days with tests from mine and tests from lfs. Did them side by side different api test kits (proved accurate, but wow I dropped and consumed that much in one day, maybe I should bump to 2 table spoons a day instead of 1.5).
Now here is the kicker on Sunday I ran out of alk powder and (barley had enough to do my normal dosage). So Monday only lfs open doesn’t carrry the powder form only liquid form and directions are hideous and it’s made by rpm. Now my test kit showed I changed at 6 and 7 was yellow. So in their directions it said 10 ml equals 10 us gallons of concentrate. So the word concentrate to me is there is way more in a smaller amount than normal right. Nope. I tried to be safe and I only used 20 ml because I stay between 7-8 alk. Tested today and I was at a 4. I went from a 7-4 in one day. So bought the powder again and put in my normal 1.5 tablespoons right away. (Now have to raise slowly), but will test later tonight and see how much that raised me and go from there. My lfs said they have never seen a tank consume so much inna day, should I be worried? Usually this means the tank is growing great and should mean its only going up. Thoughts or is this me still stupid tired from almost 30 hours of work. Worked my 24 and the. Went home to be called back in 6 hours later to help with short staff.
In terms of the music oh I have sooooooo much to share especially with Fleetwood Mac. Oh how I do have some of my favorite songs from them. I think Sara, little lies, rhianna, and go your own way are (oh Diana, and love in store, and I don’t want to know never get old, same with some songs by Queen, the invisible man, who wants to live forever, kind of magic, I want it all, I got to break free (so many more to add, but also so many more bands and songs) like 19fh nervous break down lol mothers little helper, never get old, oh and (sorry love Jefferson airplane also white rabbit), heart, lol
I used to repair 8-Track tape cartridges for my friends when I was in high school. 
(with a bit of Nicholas Cage)
Had a brother in law in the service overseas and he would send over catalogs (forgot what they were called), where you could purchase these amazing receivers, with like a thousand knobs, and huge reel-to-reel tape decks!
