Marty - I really like the Powermodule. One problem I had was that some salt creep literally glued the acrylic shield in place, and I had to pound it out to remove it. Lesson learned, I'll just have...

Thanks for the reassurance, GSMguy. Nori going into tank. I also want to try broccoli for its nutritional value. I can't remember where I read it but I seem to recall it should be blanched to...

Sorry everyone, I just got back in town today. I've been gone and off-line since the 21st. I was reluctant to post since I don't have pics yet, but I didn't want to be rude. Actually, now that I...

The cord to the end of the sensor is fairly rigid, and the cord can be held 6" or more away from the sensor while the sensor still remains level. This is particularly important for another reason,...
