  1. Salifert Test Kits Galore & Brightwell Aquatics Supplements.

    So everything until this point with water quality has just been guesswork. But I decided to do things right, so I placed another order with Premium Aquatics for a slew of quality Salifert Test Kits and Brightwell Aquatics Supplements. I had a great smile on my face this afternoon when the package arrived. It was like Christmas in August. Now I'm going to put together a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that I can track my aquariums water quality with on a weekly basis.

    So after waiting the entire weekend I received my Kessil a150w Ocean Blue LED Pendant for my aquarium and being extremely excited I decided to go against the doctors orders and take a little trip to Home Depot for some supplies (my wife drove me as I am still not allowed to drive from the surgery).
