Oh, and it was kinda cool to see Parlaquatics on Noopsyche's store! However, they're listed as sold out...?
not sold out; just a shopify hack to list it without listing it. I hope not too misleading.

Finally got a Nitrate test kit and found they were insane. Guess I shouldn't dump my copepod cultures into the tank the night before I test. Also need to clean the fuge pad because the sump water level is higher then I'd like and its burning filter paper...

If I let the pad hang there for awhile do you think the copepods are smart enough to move down until they're in the water? Not sure I want to murder them all.

Not that I need to worry... Thanks Steve!

have to tried using one of the super fine mesh nets to harvest your copepods?
I actually use the filter roller paper; at 100microns it works ok; still a lot of gunk gets through. I suppose I should look into it.

just enough room for pelagic swimming!
So when I took out the extra pipe on my return I left the 3/4" pipe 3/4 out of the water. makes a lot of splashing... could he be trying to go up river?
