On the testing, its working awesome. the herbie is working great. really sensitive on the gate valve when you get close to equalibrium. But the overflow pulls a 1/4" skim off the top of the tank. All the way across. Thats with about 1100GPH flow

Just draining the tap water now, 4 days from now, should have the tank full of RO/DI Damn 50gpd units HAHAHA

Ya, but I don't feel like battling Hair algae and Cyano for the next year. Our water is natural spring water, not treated or anything

Well, OM-4 is on i't's way. Added some of the LR last night. Suprised, with over a month in a rubbermaid tote, some Ric's and shrooms survived

Heres a shot to settle Leah down. She;s more anxious than I am I think LOL
