Where did you get the White Tail Bristletooth? I've seen a couple places have them 'in stock' lately which was nice to see, I've never seen them available in the last 3 years until the last couple months.

LiveAquaria? NY Aquatic?
 
NYAquatic I get most of my fish from them

It was $200 including shipping , fish was $165 shipping $35. Michael has a 14 day guarantee which he has always honored without hesitation as well. NYAquatic is a good source for fish

I setup a Fusion Nuvo 30L in the equipment room to keep me company when I am in there. It has turned out quite nice , I have installed a bonded pair of Candy basslets in the tank and they have been spawning every couple of days.

Quite nice, indeed.
Seeing your smaller tank is making me anxious to start planning for my new Fluval M60 set up.
Although, I don't think I'll be getting a pair of Candy Basslets!
 
Getting ready for winter, Though I would take a shot at Phytoplankton, Rotifer and Artima rearing.
Plankton reactors are from the UK and have a nice design with the light in the center. I have also built them up with heating and chilling. After running test I can maintain +/- 1F which will be good for some of the more delicate Roti's I want to try raising. Grabbed a cabinet from Ikea and have the cabinet fan to install tomorrow with a thermostat control to ventilate the cabinet. I also picked up a nice little fridge/freezer combo from Costco for fish food ( and a beer :))

Well my Candycane basslet pair are spawning regularly along with my Ruby red Dragonets , working with Chad to try the candy bass breeding and doing the ruby reds here. I also want to feed the tank for the corals regularly.
 
I received my Triton ICP results today.

I have a couple of heavy metals reading high, I can't figure out the Selenium and Tin would come from could be AcroPower?
Strontnium is High I have been dosing so will back off that. Iodine is low so I will increase the dosing . Finally Phosphates are low and reflect the Martin test Kit showing 0, the Hanna PO4LR and Hanna Phosphorus ULR were reading between .01 and .03.
Bromine is Low I have think about that one.
I think I need to get the Neomarine salt tested as fresh mix for a base line.
The all in One bio pellets really seem to work well as I have no other PO4 control in place and Phosphates are always low.

So far, the trends I have seen regardless what salt or additives people are using:

Li and Al are always high.

V and MN are 0

MO for me is also 0 assumming from my ATS but everybody seems lower as well.

Fe 0, I thought it was just becuase of my ATS but everyone seems to be showing as 0.

For the zeros I wonder if test just can't read that low or if really zero.
