You said nitrates matched though, right? Might be that the spin test needs an adjustment factor to match the Hanna. When in doubt I alway check a Salifert Alk test. They've been extremely consistent for me so far even between batches of kits tested on the same water sample. Easy titration since the color change is quick and apparent.
I should probably get a salient kit to double check. I have one, but it is OLD. Expired in 2013 IIRC! Lol
All contests are a waste of time if @tbrown is involved.@tbrown Did you just put in about 8,000 entries on the Printed Reef giveaway? Yesterday I started the day with ~236 entries and a roughly 1 in 18 odds, making total # entries in the low 4,000s (can't remember exact numbers). By end of the day total entries jumped to over 10,000.
Now, considering that every new person entering the contest can add a maximum of 111 entries in their first day (including the referral entries), that means the ~6,000 new entries during the course of yesterday alone was a minimum of ~54 new persons entering the contest. All at once.
Now, if we consider all the previous entries from all the previous days were in the low 4,000s (say ~4,200), and we made a calculation assuming everyone did the minimum entries not requiring a prior purchase, prior participation in a printed reef giveaway or referral bonus (i.e., freebie entries by just social media: 31 entries remaining), then that would give about 135 participants. There were most likely fewer participants as many will have gotten the bigger entry bonuses of prior purchases/participation/etc. Still, that means the # of participants went up likely 40% or more in a very short time.
Smells like foul play @Printed Reef ! Either many reefers coordinated to join 5 days before the end OR there was a huge ad campaign that woke everyone up 5 days before the end OR someone(s) is creating a bunch of fake reefers and stacking the deck! The game is afoot!
Booyah! Mic drop... not really, just a bit of wasted time
I just got their mandarin feeder. I like the construction. Haven't been able to put it into use yet, of course, but ready to use my Biota gift cards once the tank is running!All contests are a waste of time if @tbrown is involved.
I have a lot of printed reef stuff. But sometimes I wish that they could do better. For ie: accurate descriptions of there psu holders.
Yes, theoretically I'd be walking home from Plaza Real right about nowJoJo, did you keep the Spanish way of life

Hey now, I have yet to win a Printer Reef giveaway.All contests are a waste of time if @tbrown is involved.

Fixed it to reflect a true Spanish lifestyle.Yes, theoretically I'd be stumbling home from Plaza Real right about now
*-*yet*-*
Sorry for the loss @JoJosReef
Ah man, what a bummer! Sorry for the the loss, bro!
Why no more tangs after you saw them in the wild?
Big, active. I don't think they will fit nicely in my 48"x20"x20" tank. The foxface and the CBB will be my two big fish, and I think that'll be it. Just wrasses and maybe a bottom dweller or two after that.
I should clarify. They might be fine if I wasn't packing the tank with other active fish. If I wanted the yellow and the kole, I might just have those two and the CBB and maybe 4 wrasses (two sand sleepers, two tougher fairies).
Get a pair of mandarins
