quixand said:Ok..... I've never heard of adjusting for the temp of the water. Can you elaborate? Usually the water I put into the tank once mixed is close to the ambient temp of the tank. +/- a couple degrees.
quixand said:Oh I completely agree with you on the refractometer.
My LFS was selling them for $90 bucks!!!! Crazy!!!
I'll probably end up picking one up on ebay.
Yup, me too! I had to buy a 96W light, they charged me $60. I will continue to buy live stock from them. They will order what I ask for and I will wait at least a week, to make sure the fish is healthy.Kurt_Nelson said:As much as I want to support my local fish store, there is no way I'm going to pay 2x what I can get it for online. Pretty much all hardware (unless it's an emergency) I get now days come from online. I was at a LFS the other day and they wanted $36 for a Stealth 100W heater.
