FYI Seti007 has a nice stereo microscope he recently picked up for $75 at the U of U surplus store. He was looking at his water and at rotifers. There was something in the tank water he used for his rotifers that in a day multiplied to a population that was attacking many of the rotifers. It was about 1/10 the size of the rotifers. Could this be bacteria? I thought bacteria was much smaller than this.
A microscope like this would be another possible club purchase.

Jon,
Like two blocks from my house. I've been there a few times. I'll swing by and see what I can find sometime next week.

Jon,
Sorry other house. I actually live on UofU property, right here where I work. Kind of a way to keep lab rats in the lab. The surplus store is here on campus, they have old keyboards ($5) monitors ($10), desks ($10), shelves ($5) and a bunch of other stuff they remove from rooms when the get new equipment.
It's like a wherehouse of junk. You know like NPS and Market Square.

i really want to learn more about par values in my tank and i was wondering if the club ever acquired a par meter and if it is available to members for use or rent?
i'm especially interested since i have new bulbs and would be interested to get some readings and compare them in 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Coreyk,
Bug the presidency (but not me) about it. They've mentioned it before, but never bought one.
