I hold in my hand the worlds smallest violin...wha, wha, wha...

(Who am I, the master of mis-information, mr. know-it-all...?
Aaah, just given' ya' a hard time

I share many of your frustrations and I don't want to sound like some kid in the playground, "Oh ya' well my dad can beat up your dad..." but I'm color blind. I hate doing water tests !!! "Honey, what color matches best with this one..."
Optometrists told me long ago I could forget about a career in aviation or electronics...hmmm, maybe thats why NASA never calls me for an interview...?
I know the third bottle of reagent for ammonia tests is double the volume of the first two...what's up with that ??? I often use Salifert kits but most commonly I use the Hagen. I find them consistant and sometimes I can even get test results all by myself. Sometimes.
I don't do water tests nearly as often (aside from Ca) as "they" say I should. Reckless ? Lazy ? I try not to think so. I found over time a stabilized system was just that...stable. I wish my 90g was stable !!!
What are your thoughts Bob ???
