Has anyone used JR Peters for water testing? https://www.jrpeters.com/ Supposedly $46 for testing. Maybe the club could test the water at Green Acres, which should be similar to water throughout Fairfax (https://www.fairfaxwater.org/imar_fairfax-water-service-area)?
What do people use as a battery back-up for fishrooms? Do folks use a gas generator? Does anyone use a power station (portable or not) for their home and fishroom? The following is a review on Anker Solix F3800 Plus, which seems to be a good option:
To anyone that has any of the Xenotoca melanosoma that I distributed- I have just learned that population is extremely endangered in the wild and rare in captivity. Unfortunately I didn't know this and didn't bring any with me when I moved. Please make every effort to breed and distribute them.
I was at Petco today and they have 125 gallon tanks from North American Aquatics… the tanks are part of their 50% off sale… the tank is $500 - and it comes with a glass canopy! If you would like a stand, they have on for $500 as well
Just an FYI if you’re interested in a large tank…
I work at Loudoun Water and we also pull from the Potomac for our raw source as well as Fairfax (we also buy their water when our production is limited). I can ask to borrow some of our testing equipment, what parameters were you interested in checking?
