I totally agree with Dave about the RO water. I tried to use tap when I started and it was a disaster. Spent more time trying to clean glass and rock work then I did enjoying the tank. Try your LFS they should have just RO or already aged salt water. In a pinch Walmart sells ro water (make sure...

What a way to get my first sticky :P It put a few more grays on my head. Bob

Erna Congratulations on the new addition! I guess the avatar will now be momof6kids+1. Bob

Bob The article mentioned using a vacuum pump to pull the water up the tubes. Nice flood when the pump dies. Bob

Phil I like the way you think! Bob

Paul Are you're sps browning? The phosban will help that too. Bob

Paul Are you running Phosban? It made a big difference in my tank. Sorry I missed you at the swap. Bob
