Thanks...
And another moment of brilliance...
So, I am cycling six tanks @ once with one test vial.. Slow, a royal pain & I inevitably forget which tank I had tested last.. I am A.D.D. I guess..
Anyway, I bought a daily medication thing & a syringe that measures in ml. You need 5 ml of tank water to do the analysis (DUH!) The cool thing is that each compartment is water tight & if you shake only lightly, one test won't spill into the other. Another cool thing is you can compare the colors (ammonia concentration) of one tank to the other automatically. REALLY helps.
For whatever reason & also despite setting all of the tanks up at the same time, same water parameters, temp & seeding - they all have seemed to progress at their own individual pace.
I have no idea as to why. Perhaps the substrate I removed from the 180 had varying degrees of bacteria present?.. Anyway... A picture is worth a 1000 words, right? Sorry, I couldn't get this image to save rotated 90 deg to the right.. Crazy..

Yeah.. Because the threads in a electrical terminal adapter are straight (not tapered) & under pressure, the water will leak around the threads itself..
Definitely a money saver when you have 20 to install!
