hanna standard came in today... mine reads on the lower end of the range.. so its accurate.  guess ill start putting Red Sea NO3:PO4-X in the PCA pump that used to dose everclear.

costco let me return and rebuy my generator w/ just the receipt, saved 55 bux!

saw a bristleworm that looked much larger than the holes on the trap I made, so im gonna print one w/ larger holes.

How frequently are you cleaning off your algae scrubber? Looks like you pull off quite a bit! I should keep a bucket of that in my house. Just a quick sniff and I lose my appetite ;) weight loss plan!

this puppy saw some action lastnight.  If you have any UPS's this will power, you have to set their sensitivity to "low."  The way a generator works, it only supplies as much power as requested.  the UPS was flipping between line/battery indefinately because when the UPS flipped to line, the genny added more power, then the UPS saw this as power is back on.. back and forth.

anyways, my time was filled lastnight while on geny power.  got 4 ups's reconfigured.

also, hooking this up to the house mid-downpour w/ lighting cracking everywhere is freaky as hell.
