Burpples
Hardest part is figuring out this dang timer.

Some digi's can be frustrating sir...
sit in silence...
Got the timer on the CO2 regulator working and programmed for everyday of the week with the same schedule.
Think I'll pick up another of the same timer to put on the lights. Maybe I'll wait and just use the mechanical one for now.
That GLA diffuser is straight up dope.
That mist is so fine that when it comes out thru the spraybar you can't tell I have it running.
But if it's not going into the Fluval intake it distributes tee-niney (that's a word right?) burples by the freaking millions. It literally looks like a cloud of dust going across the tank.

Sounds awesome Dale...timer was a lil tricky huh.
Sometimes the mech timers run just a bit slow & require looking in on from time to time.

The drop checker instructions told me to use tank water and 3-4 drops of the PH solution that came with it. I know the KH is much higher than 4* in my tank water so I tried distilled water and that was just as bad the other way.
Spent the time and made up a batch of 4dKH solution last night for the drop checker. Seems to be such a waste to make soo much and only need 5ml. I bottled enough to save and be able to change it every week if I want.
No wonder people sell it. When you make soo much of it for a 5ml sample....lol
All is good now!

I used the method that makes a 2 liter bottle worth. I saved a few small bottles and a partial 2 liter for future use. Maybe I'll change it with every PWC.
Worked like a charm though.

Technical difficulties have stricken.

I been gone since last weekend.
Way too much light
Serious cleaning commencing.

Everything is coming out for a thorough scrubbing and dipping with a 50%+ PWC......NOW

Been there. A few years back I left the timer in the "ON" mode for 8 days. Fortunately it was a low light fixture. Only a bad case of hair algae.
You may have to run shortened light periods for several days. Maintain your fert routine.

Been extremely busy and this is where I am now.
Lost some plants and only saved some clippings of some.
The pogostemon octopus went nuts in the 20L so I took big clippings and put them in this one too for now.
