Tank Entry

For the last two days I've been sick and my normal standing in front of the tank for hours has been reduced. I just fed the tank, cleaned the glass and went back to the couch. Today I was feeling better and spent some time after feeding and I noticed my Royal Gramma didn't eat, come to think of it I hadn't see him the last two days. So I started looking and found him dead under a rock, as soon as I moved the rock he floated to the surface. I've had him two years and the previous owner had had ...

Stage Two is ordering the stand. It took a while to get the welder over, but he and I discussed the entire plan and he's going to get back to me with a quote. I'm buying it for sure, I just hope I can afford it.

This thing is a beast! Can't seem to find the embed option from YouTube, but here is the link. It pulls out about 2-5L/week and that volume seems to be both weather dependent, ozone reliant.

The quality has degraded significantly, sorry! ...

Rearranged the rock a little, to get a little depth in the tank. It is kind of hard to show the depth with a picture like this, but the left side rock actually is too close to the front glass, and goes all of the way back to about an inch from the back....

RO/DI is installed, and we ran it for a couple of hours last night. Made about 8-9gal.
We chose to install in way up on the wall, about halfway between the water valve and where the mixing barrels will be, so that we have no ...
