RO/DI being used? TDS 0?

Good to know...thanks!

Still working on the RO/DI setup. Have a booster pump (Aquatec 8800) on the way. I think I've spent more money trying to make water than on my 180 gallon tank...:) I will need to pump my RO water, after it loses its Co2 by sitting and bubbling back to the booster pump through the DI. Since it...

When I get finally get my tank running, I'd like to try an experiment with this idea.

I did a search and found a thread on it from 2006, stating: http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/corals/lets-talk-suspension-propagation-2404/ LETS TALK SUSPENSION PROPAGATION! This is something that I have been doing quite a bit of research on and to be honest am pretty excited to start it...

I'm trying to work out my RO/DI salt mixing station design. I'm using two 32g Brutes side by side and plan on sharing a mixing pump between the two using one inch pvc and ball valves. So I'm looking for recommendation for a decent low watts external pump that can connect to one inch pvc. Also...

It would be a great service to everyone if we could come up with a gold standard, rock solid, no issues, safe as possible, multiple power outlet. It could literally be a life saver and be one less thing to worry about. We could make it NJRC approved...Dance

Welcome! Its really a friendly place...

Must use their screws... http://www.amazon.com/Kreg-SML-C250B-250-Blue-Kote-Weather-Resistant/dp/B000VK3TES/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386870488&sr=8-2&keywords=kreg+screws+2+1+2+inch...

Since I didn't think I'd use it often, I bought this jig and moved it around. I had a clamp laying around too. I ended up striping the bit that drives the special screws building the sump stand, but was able to buy a couple more for 3-4 dollars on Amazon. I got everything on Amazon including a...

Yes its the Kreg Jig, found out about it on the rc rocketengineer stand thread.

I've read the coralife have had fire issues.

I'm seeing tons of true union ball valves, but no true union gate valves, so I guess I buy the unions separate and build the true union gate valve with slip on unions?

In the process of looking at plumbing supplies I have found King Brothers on Amazon at insanely low prices compared to other sites. Just thought I'd share. Also a question on valves, threaded vs slip, whats the consensus on which way to go?

Looks like a pro did it. Like it a lot.

Thanks downbeach! Is this tubing the right size and ok for an RO/DI setup. 1/4 inch? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HE8EWK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=37CA0HXSSONOA&coliid=I1X0EO0380CCEE

Thanks...trying to get stuff done each week.

You guys are killing me...I'm still months away from water... Tank looks great!

Basement sump room floor prep and paint... Hockeynut stopped by yesterday to go over game plan and picked up frame for display tank stand... Before: After:

This week on the build: Orders two food grade 32 gallon Bute cans and lids. Bought TSP and cleaned basement floor to prep for gray epoxy paint. Bought a used mag 7 and two green Jager heaters from a guy in Jackson selling tons of stuff. Soaking them in vinegar baths. Hope to meet with Rob...
