Haha. Tony's been a little TOO close to some bad diapers today.

So I went out and picked up the Elos nitrite. What a JOKE.

For starters it comes with a 5mL syringe. I fill it twice carefully and put it in the 10 mL glass vial. The water was like 3mL over the 10 mL mark on the vial if you trusted those markings. Then I go to put the included stopper into the vial. It's way too big. Doubt it's even the right one so I used my thumb.

Honestly if I pay a premium I want to feel GOOD about it.

Good news is the test actually did something. It appears that my 'trites are at around 0.35 (middle of two pink bands). Now I have something to measure and watch fall to 0. Woohoo.

Was I supposed to like...add a dead shrimp or anything? I sort of thought the dry rock would have plenty of crap in it to feed bacteria. Anyone?
