One of the most important tools in the hobby. I love mine as well. What's the salinity in that Corona bottle behind it?

I Guess that wouldnt technically qualify as wasting a corona. Im tempted to walk my ass down to the beach and see how the pacific ocean here in Pismo Beach tests as far as nitrate, nitrite, ph, etc goes.
But that tools cool, the lady who sold me my 29g tank gave me mine for free. Not bad for $60 =o
