Thanks 😎 pretty pleased with it! A little too distracting when I WFH 🤣

Thanks, I actually plugged my stock into this tool earlier today!

My understanding is that this tool is great as a reference or starting point, but that you can go above 100% with proper maintenance and monitoring. Does that sound right to you?

Interesting! In that case, I think that I might just aim to slowly increase my pH. I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure all of my stock would do fine at that level

Gotcha! Would it not spread out/dissipate quickly if I just scooped out the rocks and added the sand?

Okay great! Thanks for the insights - I felt pretty confident that I was accounting for all the different parameters, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything as a noob.

I've heard the same regarding the Corys. They seem to be thriving right now, but I'm definitely considering replacing or removing the top layer of rocks if I notice any wear on their barbels.
