eklikewhoa Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not 2mil, about 2mm worth of straw. Link to comment
JR! Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm gonna get bashed for this... I don't own any test kits, refractometer or any kind of measuring device. I use a straw and from reading the dosing instructions I use a thin drinking straw and do about 2mm worth of it. Once every other day when I remember. i do the same thing. Link to comment
x3thelast Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not 2mil, about 2mm worth of straw. Copy that! 2mm worth of straw. Dang...I don't think there's a straw to milliliter conversion chart...lol Link to comment

But just curious how do you mix your water and get the salinity right with no refracto? You just that good with a drop of saltwater on the tongue? Link to comment

You just that good with a drop of saltwater on the tongue? I buy water from a trusted LFS, tasting ready made water is close, I tried just to see but not something I practice. I was .004 off with taste. But yeah, I buy water for the most part and if I really need to test I make my brother drop off his but that's happen only twice. I mark the water levels so I have a good idea where to top off to. I did order a refractometer though cause I wanna make my own water now. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I can see not owning test kits but a refracometer is a must IMO. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah, with previous tanks that's the only thing I would use. Once every long while but it was used. Found one for $20 so I picked one up Link to comment

alexversa Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Despite the problems that have been posted about these, I found one cheap enough to give a try. I have the same one and it has been doing fine in my tank. Looks great and I've had it since November. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have the same one and it has been doing fine in my tank. Looks great and I've had it since November. Thats great news! Anything specific you do for it? Feeding? Lighting? Flow? Placement? Link to comment
alexversa Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thats great news! Anything specific you do for it? Feeding? Lighting? Flow? Placement? Not at all. I feed it a small piece of fish occasionally but other than that nothing. For lights I have a 15 watt IM Skye Light. 1 Link to comment
alexversa Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That Yuma is amazing. Last time I saw one like that it was about 2-3in and the guy wanted $199 for it. Link to comment

I remember them from before my hiatus from the hobby and that sounds about right. Back then nuclear greens and purple death were 10-20 a polyp. Regardless of where it stands I still like them for how they look and not what people are paying for them. Its like a throwback tank when I look for stuff to put in it but at the fraction of the cost. Link to comment
