Good to hear some survived.

What do you train your fish to do?

I wish I had trained mine to swim into a small separate tank for feeding (and capture if necessary)...sort of the way that the aquariums train the whales to allow for examinations....

No jumping hoops I guess?

What kit are you using to test phosphate anyway? Unless you're using a Merc kit or comparable, such a low reading is probably inaccurate.

Elos, the next reading above zero is 0.01 then it jumps to 0.1

Myka	10-28-2009 02:32 PM

Ya, likely not too accurate at that low number, but at least you know there is probably "a little bit". I find if you compare to a Merc kit both Elos and Salifert will show lower readings than the Merc.
