"FarmerTy" Thanks for the tip! So how'd you get into saltwater? [emoji12] Masochism

He's alive! Yeah, alive and well. But maybe not back online much. I came on to message someone and had a couple of minutes, so I checked out a few builds. So more of a proof of life posting and then back in the shadows, huh? [emoji6] well, if you keep talking to me, and i have to respond, you may suck me back in .

Wow Ty, that's a lot of fish swimming around. Looking good.

The tank is looking good, Kim. I am having a hair algae problem, too. I think I am going to try the water change and scrubbing thing.

welcome to the club. the setup looks good.

Max posted this article. It has a lot of information. it is long, but a good 25% of it is "author of this piece accepts no liability or responsibility for tanks crashing through the floor". http://badmanstropicalfish.com/articles/article28.html

hey lara, unfortunately work has piled up and i wont be able to help.

that is the path the bright side.

looks good

looks good so far.

Holy cow. That's nuts. Maybe you should dose your tank with tap water and save on kalkwater.

Ok, I'm not a non believer exactly, I was just questioning the amount. But I never considered not rinsing as an option. Nor continued build up increasing the error. I was imagining that with a good tap water rinse and an air dry you may have 10 ppm error on calcium. I'm not really a good candidate to test that, though, because between trying to figure out when my pink matches their pink and reading the microscopic numbers on the syringe I figure I get +/- 20 on my best days Oh I didn't feel abraded. I asked, you answered.

Either way it's the same principle, right? A few drops maybe drying and leaving some deposits.
