I dont know what to do with the glass on the back. Should I paint it or just leave it clear? I eventually want to have just vortechs so there wont be as many cords running down the back. Its nice to be able to go back and see stuff i want to suck up during a water change.

I got my marine betta to eat some mysis shrimp and chopped mussel today. Hopefully pretty soon I wont have to spot feed him way inside my rocks. Everytime i stick the tongs in to try and feed the marine betta my trigger eats half the food before I get it in the rocks.

Well I have flooded my basement twice in the last week. The one last night was pretty bad though. I left my 200 gpd rodi on last night and a quarter of my basement is wet. So right now I am trying to soak the water out of the rug and I have big fans set up to help it evaporate. I was pretty lucky though the water was just at the powerbars and stuff behind my tank when I noticed it was still on.

Welcome to the flood club ! Probably won't be your last. Seriously though I hope it all cleans up Ok. I had one myself today with my 33g set-up, never have had a water disaster with this set up, so you just never know.

just hook up a float valve to the tub and then your ro/di will stop when the float valve is topped off.

One thing I notice when I do my weekly manual topup of my reservoir...there is TDS creep every single time. That is weekly. I can also turn the ro/di off for 10 minutes and still get creep.
So what I do is bypass the DI resin for a minute or two until the TDS after the membrane is 3 or less. then I run it through the resin and into wherever I want good water. This saves your resin from a constant butt kicking. In my opinion doing manual fills in this way will allow your media to go much further. Not that you asked for my opinion but... Fish room's looking food btw! |

Agree with Brett except that the fish room doesn't look like food at all to me. But I'm tired and maybe just not seeing it. Plus I just loaded up on some beef jerky so I'm not all that hungry, no salty snacks for at least 10 more minutes.
