UNSIGHTLY!!! you have got to be kidding, your tank is amazing. If you are wanting to try something I do recommend the Ultralith line, I recieved a demo of Ultra Bio and the food source (powder in a bottle with no label, perhaps the Fauna folk could identify what it is) I used it on the 90 corner tank and it cleared up my nuisance algae as well as a real bad case of cyano.

Hey Dave do you still have your fancy water tester thing? Would it give me an accurate nitrate, phosphate reading?

That reminds me I need a hair cut

Take your time, I am happy to keep providing advise and answer questions when required

(missing label = sample bottle from large vat of product ) This was the Ultra Life I speak of above

Best wishes

Yes I still have that fancy thing, give me a ring and I can stop over and give you a baseline.

PO4 test - I really need a heat test to determine anything.

Thanks, I do the heated sample and readings are taken using Medusa colorometer, as accurate as we can get around here.

I wish I bought one of those colorimeters........ $300 was a bargain compared to the $1000+ Hach or Lamotte units.

To bad they don't make them anymore and Elos decided not to bring their unit to market ($500 US).

Cheers,
