New fishes

When i saw DRD’s add on Zoopet for some redback scalare, i could not help myself from getting some of them.

Incredible beautiful even though their size is quite small, about 4cm from tip to tip.

To much time to spare?

This guy (I guess) seems to have a lot of spare time or maybe he is working for the manufacturer.

Changes in the auto dosing regime

I have had some thoughts about my nutrition dosing, I think that they are not as good as i would like it to be. The Average levels are probably quite good but as I’m dosing the same amount each day and nothing extra for the water change the levels over the week gets from quite low to quite high.

I have now made an Excel sheet for my auto dosing and adjusted the timer to a new routine, it will be added to a normal level after the water change and then just a little amount to keep the level each day.

I will try this for some time now to evaluate it.

About my experiments on the oxygen levels, i could see the same trend every week but eventually i had to trim the plants down and that made the levels totally different so i cant compare them, but there will be more opportunity for this when it has grown in again.

The Simpsons

This film is quite crazy, it’s said to be a commercial for the Simpsons in UK, quite seriously made.

Garmin IQue M5

After the latest firmware update for the GPS, it works like a charm even wit third party programs, which it certainly earlier did not.

There is an standard for the language from the antenna which is called NMEA, but some large manufacturers creates their own antennas and does not use the standard language.

Garmin M5 has an software translator for the NMEA language to make it possible to use third party software, this works really bad before the update, the NMEA information had so long delay between the messages so the software thought it had lost contact with the antenna.

After the latest update it works so well that i cant imagine a better al round product, a bit expensive but it can do a lot.

Big clean out

I have now made a big clean out, the tank does not look that much right now but hopefully it will grow in quite soon.

The large ozelot was quite grotesque and also misplaced in the tank earlier, but on the other hand it was not that size when i placed it.
