Lucked out on this one. I went to one of my fav coral reef stores on a day trip yesterday....only had API test kits lol.... Did other stuff too. Winter has just started in these parts. So when I got back home in the evening I thought I would wash off the road salt at a car wash. As I got out of the car I accidently dropped the plastic bag with the big elegance in it. Then I threw it on the driver's seat...then not thinking I locked my keys in the car. I never got around to getting a spare for this car I got last April. .. I crossed the street and using a phone at a parts store I called CAA Which is same as AAA. They told me 8O minutes. Went back to car and can see the bag leaking water on the car seat. It was a bit below freezing out. Well around an hour later CAA came and they got me in in a jiffy. Keys were in ignition and phone was charging in the car. This pic is of it this morning. I lost one a year ago during a big partial water change. So now plan to do 5 gallons a month. Really mix the salt better and no short cuts.

Purple tip elegance is doing great. The professional at Aquarium Services Kitchener told me all you need is salt water. I don't even have to feed him. He said it is one of the hardiest corals he has. December 1 I am due for a partial water change. I am going to mix that salt so much before it enters that tank.

I did not go there to get a test kit. When you are retired you kind of look for fun things to do to keep busy. One thing I like to do is go on a road trip once a week. Ya I will probably order my new test kit online. I just wanted to see what they had while I was there.
