    "If you want to upgrade your tank I want you to upgrade my front porch!"

    All etched up!!! I didn't expect it to foam so much. I used 1 gallon of acid to 10 gallons of water. I am glad I used 2 different trash cans to do it in. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and then I took them out of the buckets and put them in one larger bucket with the hose and a ph. I let...

    I got a new 6 stage ro/di unit and the little 1/4" plastic nipple that connects the last 2 di chambers was cracked. It was a big PIA because the post office lost the package and it just got here today. Gabe is the best helper there is. He will be 3 on Groundhog's Day and I do everything with...

    Look who wants to help me cook some rock! (I would never let him help me with this job) He helps me with 95% of the things I do around the house. Whenever I come in the house with a bag or something he thinks I got him something.

    After I set up the new RO machine I went to flush it and noticed it leaking from between the 2 DI chambers. I took them apart and noticed this I called BRS and they said that it is only a 1/4" x 1/4" NPT nipple that is broken and that they would 2 day ship me a replacement. That was Monday...

    I should have a bunch of reef flakes left when I'm done. I figure I would rather have too much than not enough and have to wait to get more shipped to me
