pschom Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Tanks dirty as green pooh. I have to scrape the glass and get some more snails. All I've been doing is feeding and water changes. No time. Kids good. Got so many presents. Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 14.5" of snow so far! Extreme cold is about to roll in though down to -5 tonight and the high for Monday is -8 and low of -18 which rarely happens. I'm off today, I may try to set the apex up but at least get the battery back up set up. Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 i hate this snow... Lol yea it's been fun, had to drive the gf to work this morning since she was worried about the roads, good thing we got her a new truck back in June... 2014 Grand Cherokee limited, that biatch plows threw everything no problems, it's awesome to drive in this weather. The dealership is trying to find me a white 2014 srt8 but finding a brand new one locally is a struggle for them so after 2 months I said stop looking lol. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 My Honda Fit is okay in the snow but I haven't driven since Monday so I actually don't know how it would handle now. I'm going to assume not very well. Lol PS: I didn't know you were in Schaumburg. We gotta trade soon! Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Finally getting around to setting up the apex.... Crap it's only 74 in the tank when I thought it was 76.8 via coralife temp probe. Inspected my old school thermometer and it was only 74.... Upped that ish to 77 and set up the program. Love it so far, will do the ph probe sat cause I'm lazy now. Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ph probe in and calibrated. 7.94 isn't too bad considering there hasn't been much fresh air in here with all this extreme cold. Link to comment
