Temp - 76
Ph - 8.2
PO4 - 0.1
NH3 - 0
NO3 - 5.0
Alk - 1.7 - 2.8 (normal range per the test kit)
Calcium - 400ppm

Looks good, YES???

Yes. Looks good! Phosphates may give you trouble with algae.

My wife is in Dallas on business and I'm sick so I now have to wait until next week to order my next shipment from TBS. :frustrat:

So I guess I'll just keep an eye on everything and work on getting those phosphates down some more.

Cheers all! :Cheers:

I exchanged emails with Richard today. My next shipment of goodies will be on it's way Friday for a Saturday morning pick up!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

Pictures on Sunday!!

Stay tuned :Cheers:

 

[CDaubs]

:bounce:Couldn't wait till Sunday. Rock came in Friday afternoon, 7 hour round trip drive to pick it up. Didn't get to be 'till well after 1am. Up early today for aqua scaping the tank. Here are the results! Richard at TBS was fantastic.

If anybody thinks I need to move something because of creature conflicts, let me know. I was completely overwhelmed by the quantity and diversity of what arrived!!

CDaubs,

We need a FTS...That tank looks sweet. Fantastic job.

 

[Bifferwine]

Wow! Very nice! Amazing color in your tank. That pink encrusting sponge on the rock? That would probably do better upside down or shaded.

 

[SeattleDarko]

wow you got a tank full of goodies! it looks good.

 

[CDaubs]

Biff, if it's upside down, how will I see it??

 

[RIJohn]

Awesome stuff...

 

[mng777777]

Wow! Richard hooked it up!

 

[Bifferwine]

Biff, if it's upside down, how will I see it??

You won't. I mean, sponges don't exist solely for you to look at them ;) Those pink encrusting sponges are non-photosynthetic and will only grow in the shade. It will probably die off in the light.
