I can do that when I get back, hopefully some Nitrates will be present as well. Thanks all

Thanks dude. I am so impressed how much things have advanced in this hobby, technology really has made it easier to stay on top of things.

disclaimer: new in forum if posted in wrong section please move, ty Hi all! I’m new to the hobby and got a complete 150g system from someone that left the hobby. The tank is in place and 100+G of rodi water are ready to get mixed with salt. A friend helped getting that portion working and helped getting the pipes ready. Unfortunately he lives far away and is busy. I am going to check for leaks today and would like to get it running soon. I think most equipment is ready to go but have not tested or tried it with the empty tank. If someone lives near the University of Maryland and has time this week to help me get it going that would be great! I had the vaccine and will wear a mask. If you can help please send me a message! thank you
