    Craig you are one stubborn son of a gun.
    Are those test taken daily? If so how do you get them daily.
    What are they testing for that you are wanting to see?

    Stubborn? Ain't that a little harsh?

    Won't know until I get the reports from a buddy of mine who works in the water quality department at the water company what they test for and how often. My water comes from a filtration plant that meets all of the 1996 Water Quality Act requirements. Heavy metals are all zero or well below the minimums for human consumption.

    Everything in my tank does well and there are no detectable water quality issues based on fish corals, snails, and crustaceans. The source for the treatment plant is surface water from Lake Tahoe, a clean mountain lake that's sits at 6,200 ft in elevation.

    I like to think of myself as prudent. Don't want to spend $200+ if I don't have to, eh?
