I'm trying to convince Kevin to go for a drive today. I can't drive because I have a knee injury. Maybe he'll take me on a trip for all of the above, butterflies, shrimp, TA products, and some other goodies.

I've figured out the "trick" with this new system and my next chosen brand of salt. Things have really been 'popping' lately. It just top off via a kalk reactor, and dose with baking soda for dKH at around 8-9ppm. I have the calcium reactor offline, but I would like to get it back online, and saving me the trouble of dosing.

I visited, I purchased, and I came home happy. New additions to be revealed shortly.

Finally got around to ordering some more expansion modules for the RKE. Picked up the Net module, two pH probes (one replacement, one for a reactor), and SL2 and a Salinity Probekit. I got tired waiting for the expansion power bars to come in stock, and just pulled the trigger.

The shipping was quite reasonable, $29USD, which I very much so appreciate. Shipping from out of country plus customs charges are usually the largest deterent for certain purchases.

Everything purchased right now can be used immediately on the 180g, and will definitely be put in use on Tibet when she is up and running.

She is big and pig-like....food inhaling machine!

I got dumped by my BB Storm yesterday so I sent it off to go fly a kite with a hole in it. To complement my RKE purchase I got myself an iPhone, you know as a treat for all that hard work! I got myself iReef to help out with checking in on the go. I like the peace of mind that can potentially come with this.
