yeah, these colors are not that normal compared to my last system.
the pinks and purples are almost neon, while the greens and blues are lacking abit FE, and K+
I got one more week of testing to do, and that should round things off.

I am using alot less elements this time round.

I thought you would have know, as they include some of your favorite things, chocolate, oil and a vaccum. LOL.

aerated choclate, is simply a home made aero bar, but way better as you can use high quality chocolate, and instead of this thin little bar of it you can make a brick size piece, which is insane to bite into.

in my tests, milk chocolate doubled in size compared to :

60% dark chocolate
72% dark chocolate

whats up all ? hope all is well with everyone.

did some work on the tank tonight and took a few pics, some top downs, water change, and a few full tank shots.

Still no new additions, although I am off tomorrow and will probably hit the shops to see if there is anything new.

anyways, Pic time
