    That pretty much describes me too, which leads me to ask when or how
    do you know if the plating solution is contamenated?  Specifically
    rhodium.  I haven't noticed any problems and the plating seems to
    look fine, but there is this funky looking black slime like substance
    in the bottom of my beaker that I have no idea how it got there. 

    Anybody, smarter than me (which should include the entire list) have
    an answer for this? 

Thanks,
