lol...uhhh...no. I had a friend come by and we had a bunch of drinks...so I didnt even take the box out my car last night. Will tonight tho. I have read about a way to make the .net module wireless so I mgiht go pick that up today too. I could run cat 5 to my computer easy enough. But the wireless route is much easier. So I will do some stuff tonight.

That water is still the same. .25 of amn and ite and 5ppm of ate.

Water is still out of whack. The amn was still at .25 but the ites seemed to have risen to 1.0 and ates are still 5. So I did about 110gal water change and dosed Prime a lot because it says it reduces nitrites. Well it does! After a almost 50% water change and addition of prime my nitrites last night and this morning are 0 lol. IDK if I wanted them at 0 per say...if the bacteria is trying to re-colonize I might want some Ite for them to feed on. O well....it gives the fish a brake. This morning its seems to be 0ish for amn 0 for ite and 5 or less of ate. I also got a new test kit to make sure. I was almost out of the old ones and they were over a year old.

Didnt setup any of the controller....I am going out of town and I would rather be around for a while with the controller running again so I can watch it if it does something funny.

You go out of town way too often, I'm jealous. A little jealous of your tank as well, you have an awesome setup.

Water is finally back right 0 amn and ite and 5~10 ate. I am going to be out of town so I still haven't hooked anything back up controller wise. Once im back in town and can watch it I will set it all back up.

I am currently out of town but before I left the yellow labs were coming down with bloat. I guess from the water being out of whack since I feed NLS only. I treated with some Jungle parasite clear tabs 2 times. I have someone checking on the fish and so far havent lost any...but I dont know how they look. More to come next week...for now im chilaxing on da beach :D

Thanks...I am going to post some more tonight probably. I finally got my 2nd pump running. The fish had a bout with bloat that I think is mostly gone (didn't loose any) and the water is clearing. I havent had time to do much on it lately...
