On the plus side, my floor looks clean after mopping it dry.....

Large tank is still about the same.
Got carried away and picked up yellow phantom tetras for the other tank plus some baby bristlenose catfish. Quite nice, small fish that seem to have settled well and busy keeping each other in line.

Calibrated new ph pen and it looks like the ph probe reads 0.2 or so under.
Then it went downhill - put probe in glass of ph 4 calibration solution but when I lifted up probe meter it must of pulled the probe out of glass.
Result was glass of water down tank backing and probe fell 2 metres sigh. Amazingly the probe didn’t smash and then I put a wooden spoon between tank backing and glass to let it dry with no watermarks.
Fiddled with ph probe cutout and seems better. Will check tonight.
I need to rescape plants by height but for the moment..

The driftwood finally (finally) arrived so I added that to shrimp tank as well. Pretty tempted to get a betta (and put shrimp elsewhere) but I know that would be more work and trying to cut back
Couple of photos. Put some Anubias in one of the other tanks to see how it goes.

Ph pen was 6.68 and ph probe was 6.63 so happy there (and fish happy). New nitrates test kit barely registered so will add more ferts and see if working. Ditched a bunch of kits that expired in 2018

I like the idea of keeping seperate compared to in-line on canister return (also less chance of hose leaks for me) but do find them fiddly. About once every month and a half, one of them will play up after a tank clean (too much gas buildup stops impeller restarting or tube pops off - held with rubber bands still). Still running though after say 4 years.
This is for another thread but is the shrimp tank led light taped off to control light intensity. Mostly taped off now but still quite bright with light around edges / through tape lighting tank fine. Java fern growing as well as (sadly) brown algae near eg filter inlet which is hard to wipe off and some green spot algae making a determined run. Originally taped just blue LEDs but had to tape more. Example of algae control with light duration, spectrum and intensity.

Sadly the order got canceled (sob). Probably for the best in this heat I guess but geez, a little disappointed.
