It will take one or two tests to get the colors down. The tests are pretty simple, the value chart are very simple to get the number from the syringe.

Thank you David, I have had a lot of help from others.

My current quest is soda lime for a scrubber, I am trying to get it local.

After doing a water change, I am playing with the camera and took a couple top down shots, what a difference just with a couple of adjustment to the fstop and white balance.

Now to do some lightroom adjustments.

I'm a window opening junkie. Don't struggle or fight for ph but if our ac blows, then I'll look into a new unit with a built in EVR.

I've seen one guy that ran some small hard pipe duct work from the outside to his ac's squirrel cage blower and put in a cut off when he does not want the ac to pull in the outside air. It was a simple mod and got the job done.

It might be cool enough by the second week of November to open a window, maybe.

Thank you, yes. Instead of running a 7.5 I am at 7.8.

 

[120reefkeeper]

Wow 7.5?? Didn't realize you were down so low. Great to hear that it's helping. So is that 7.8 at night or day now??
