Little update...
Fish and corals are doing super! Added an incredible blasto and a super pink Strawberry Crab (my 3 yr old daughter named "Pinkalicious")- both early Christmas presents from a Friend!
And...would you believe I hooked up my aquacontroller by myself! I had attempted twice before and had pretty much come to the conclusion that I would NEVER hook this thing up (unless I convinced Doug to come over and do it for me!) Was too complex for me!! But I had to wait for my Mom today at the hospital while she had some minor surgery so I took it with me and found a seat near a plug in and programmed it while I waited! No distractions, no kids! WHOHOOOOO!

Skimmer is skimming fantastic and green hair algae bloom has ceased followed now by some diatoms. Still have insane microbubbles...not too sure if there is anything I can do with that.

My Mom actually took down the 72G and cleaned it out on Saturday (Mom's Rock!)! So I am cleaning up the remaining pumps and skimmer and the 72G is no more!

Well, you know that your probe does need to be calibrated in a couple different solutions every once in a while....which solution are you, Leah?....are you a 7 or a 10?....any plans on coming to cowtown?

Carmen, do you have the AC out where you can see it (probably not, with the little ones huh)? I found knowing and seeing what my ph was all the time was a little unnerving...whatcha got it programed to do?
