    Tank testing done today. No surprises and everything seems stable. GH and KH both up to 6 which is somewhere I'm happy with. New water change tank arrived last week so I've got 80Lt + of volume there. I've set it to add 2.5it per day, which is roughly 8/10% WC per week after evaporation...

    so today was mostly about chilling and doing the little bits round the house ready to go offshore. I decided to start my parameter diary again from scratch, i had a look at the readings and comments, all the memories came flooding back of the old tank in my hobby room. So we're at a starting...
