GH thouugh was up from last test 72 degrees or 1255.8 PPM

lost two more of the baby butterflys this week but I think I found the
culprit an 3 ft garter snake Just big enough to catch and hold them but
not big enough to swallow them the ones I thought had died while eating
he aparently had just released and they came up trying to breath
he has been relocated to a less hospitable home
far far away

Hope you have no more losses.
