FYI - I know many people don't frequent RC as much as they used to so I thought I'd mention this here. I wrote an Android App for the Apex controller that you might be interested in. I'm really not trying to make any money off of this but I put a small cost for the full app to help recover the registration fees necessary to get the app loaded up on the Google Android Market.

I use Elos test kits and my Phosphates are 0, Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0??? I have read that you can have a tank full of algae and read 0 on Phosphates due to the algae consuming it all. I have noticed my Chaeto seems to be getting smaller, it still looks ok nice and dark green. I'm not running any reactors, but am ...
