So I have to admit I did not buy a RO/DI from Melev, but to my defense I bought mine before I knew he sold them.

But I have some questions.

So I am thinking I will put the unit in my garage, and use trash bins or the like for storing the water. One for waste and one for pure.
Now my thought was to have a float valve control when the ro unit stops producing water so I dont flood the garage. I didnt know at first but most units produce 2-4 times the amount of waste ...

Both of my tanks actually are finally cycled!

The 17 gallon stabilized a few weeks ago and since then I've added my orange and darwin clown pair, and a small flame hawkfish. Most of you might think a hawkfish is not suitable for such a small tank but I like to push the envelope. He's not cramped at all and he loves all the perching spots, including my mag-float that I have resting horizontally. The 17g has also had a cyano outbreak, from the post-cycle or from overfeeding.

So I put in an e-mail to Dupont to try and get the information and while I am at it figured why not put together some information ...

Today was the day, after all the preparation. My son was awake and ready to start as soon as I showed up with the concrete mixer. He and I both knew it was going to be hard work, but I know that he now knows just how much concrete workers go through every single day.
