Court Softball

Brian has been playing on the softball team for work. The team is called the Per Curiams, which is some sort of legal term. They have lady justice on their shirt. Anyway, here are some pictures from their game on Thursday. The team played pretty well. Brian was the catcher for his team, so his knees are sore today. He also batted several times. The last picture is of the whole team (minus a couple people).

Thanks for all the pictures.
Brian, what are the water parameters you're checking? Are they chemical or biological? Or others? How did the aquarium do when you were gone to Orlando>?

I'm testing both. I test basic things like salinity and temperature using a floating meter and a thermometer. I have chemical test kits that I use to test pH, calcium levels, phosphate levels, water hardness, and various stages of the nitrogen cycle (ammonia, nitrites, and sometimes I test for nitrates).

The tank did fine while we were gone, it doesn't take daily maintenance. Right now it's running a bit too low pH and the water hardness dropped for some reason. The calcium is also a little close to the border but I'm now supplementing calcium in the main tank. I'm starting to look at corals but probably won't stock anything new for a week or so, maybe more, depending.
