I love my surge device, but the bubbles *are* present and short of a few complicated tricks (there are a couple of solutions on RC now, I see), you won't get rid of them. With clever powerhead...

What's through the roof, exactly? If we're talking in excess of 50ppm then I'd say it's impossible. What brand test kit are you using? Are you always shaking the reagents before adding them? Washing...

AFAIK CITES permits are only required by the exporting country. That means that the permit was required to move it from, say, Fiji to LA. Now that it's landed Stateside I would have thought they need...
