Funny you mentiong that. I decided to set up an RO/DI unit. I have not used it yet, but it is ready to go.
Took me a while to decide to do it, but it concerns me some that at any time the water company could "shock" the water system and really do my tank in.
That said, it has not happened in 2.5 years.
My new concern is how will the tank do with the change. I may need to ease into the transition.

The first day I noticed the arm missing, I was concerned that a crab had ripped his arm off and eaten it, or some other mishap that would soon mean its demise.
A couple of days later, I noticed its arm in my overflow box, and assumed something happened that made it rip off inside the overflow box.
Then by the end of the week, I see a single arm making its way across the front of the glass.
Two months or so later, and can see the new arm buds on the "frag" and the "parent" starfish is showing some re-growth.
These are some of the events that make this hobby so interesting to me.
do you still have four percs? how is that panning out? I have 3 (though one is the fry of the mom) and while there is no war - the third one is not allowed to sleep in the rbta with the other two at night. they tolerate the third one in the rbta SOMETIMES during the day.
Also - i noticed you said you use gac/gfo - have you ever consider chemi-pure? Just wondering - not saying to fix anything since it seems to be working for you.

Congrats on the frag! 8)Dave said:

Ultimately it didn't. It worked out fine for a while. I actually started with 5 percs. The problem was, over time they started to carpet surf.
Once it was down to three, then the two that were paired started to pick on the remaining one.

I have tried chemi-pure, and it has been fine, but probably won't continue with it.
It has been a while since I have been on, but I still have the cube. Had a series of issues including red bugs which wiped my SPS and then the tank had some additional challenges. I am basically back to mostly softies zoos one hardy SPS and one LPS.

Sorry to hear this Dave. I know how you feel, Hurricane Irene wiped out about 75% of my sps in my 200 and a few softies in the 120 and then The rest was killed due to a Malfunctioned Marineland heater, lack of time, money and maintenance. I started cleaning them up this past weekend and am preparing to restock.
Hobby is not for those with a low frustration level. Went to update firmware on the Apex ...after update completes display goes black...lights turn off...end up taking controller off the stand... Go through update process three more times....and finally everything comes back. So in the end all good, but 30 minute task took a few hours instead. Oh well. Just part of the hobby.

that also happened to me when i installed the update....it freaked me out as i thought for a moment that i had a power outage
Oh the joys of applying updates. I deal with stuff like that almost every day. What sucks the most is when companies put out a bad update/firmware which crashes systems.
