Hello, The DO tester is still working, though it takes an hour to settle it down. Replenished the solution then switched on and it seemed a bit funny at first. However, it calibrated ok. Seems like it needs time to wake up, somewhat like me The stream flow is less than ever, even after the 25mm we received in Friday. The O2 is down and the P is up. The water being such a slow flow has allowed the growth of a brown algae covering everything but the sand. This might account for the unusual readings. Maybe the growth is keeping the water clear, with the algae consuming anything around. Cheers, Terry
