PepperKeeper, I don't regret asking a thing, actually glad someone here is capable of writing a novella for a post other than me and gary. 
I am dissapointed your in Austin as I am looking for a new peeperkeeper for me and my wife. The last one was a friend and now is no longer a friend, so I don't want to go back. I had lasik a few years ago and my wife is in contacts...
Anyhow..
I am glad you seem to be on the right path correcting your tank. I too once stewed a tank with 92 degree temps but it took me a couple days to notice as I had just started working nights. that sucked.
"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind." ~ Jack Handey
