Indeed we did. All our members brought along a container of tap water, one of tank water, and every pH test kit they could find. These varied from test strips, liquid and electronic over a number of brands. Some were new and some were many years old. All gave the same results no matter how old (or new) they were.
The pH test stuff I use occasionally, when I get curious as I rarely test my water, is about 15 years old and still appears to be accurate. I do not have access to an electronic tester any more but my results are the same as other, newer, tests used.
I have a fancy JBL test lab that Grant won years ago at a conference. The other tests in it are no longer accurate but the pH seems to be fine.
We have just booked our accommodation, filled in and sent our reg forms off, and DC'd the money. :happy2:
Looking forward to conference :bounce:
Don't leave it until the last minute to book anything.
See who you can share with to save costs - accommodation, travel etc.
We will be driving up. If anyone needs picking up along the way it may be arranged
If you take too many sea sick pills I fear you will just fall asleep and miss out on the fishing!
I get sea sick sitting on the foreshore (I also threw up at the pictures once after seeing an inflatable zipping out to rescue the passengers from a crashed plane in the sea. One of the Airplane films I think, probably the original one) so you have my sympathies :-?
I found the hardest time was at about 28 days :-?
I think because I switched to too large a fish food and they died just before I could register them in the breeding scheme :tears:
