Fishboy13's 29 Gallon Biocube HQI

[fishboy13]

I would not get the API kit. Although good value, I really hate matching the color cards and I'm not entirely sure they're accurate.
I would go for a Salifert kit of the following:
Nitrate
Alk
Ammonia

Louis, I never really minded the color matching; also the test results were pretty accurate (I used the API kit while breeding, they were pretty reliable). I'm looking for close perimeters, not exact. I looked into the Salifert kits and although they are more reliable they are also more expensive, I also looked up their shelf-lives and the Alkalinity test only has a shelf-life of six months, meanwhile the nitrate and ammonia are ~1-2 years. I just don't see the point in spending more money to throw out the tests in the same amount of time, just my opinion; lol.

Great looking start !

Really nice R/O setup with a great price!

Thanks AJ! It's supposed to be here Thursday :D. My tank is supposed to be here tomorrow, but I'm guessing that it will be closer to Friday.

I came home today and my RO/DI unit was here :D.
Now I can make the water for my tank which still isn't here!
