Okay, sounds good. I have 2 so I'll try each in a different location.

Okay, I'll try that. Will it kind of been in a corner be a problem or will they be okay?

Okay. Now most people quote them as low to medium flow. I marked up areas of my tank. Which do you guys think would be best for flow? The powerhead with an x over it is now on the wall to the right of it and it's flowing to the left. Area 2 and 4 are right under flow sources, one being my...

Okay, on the bottom it is. I'm assuming they'll start bleaching if they need more light?

Haha, it's so weird hearing that my compact florescents are actually too strong for a coral when most of the aquarists talk down on them. On the bottom seems like the popular vote. Anybody else want to chime in?

I ordered their 6 stage aquarium unit and couldn't be happier with it.

So I'm getting my 2 rics I ordered on Wednesday. My only concern is where to put them. Should they go about half way up or should I put them on the bottom to start with? If it helps, my 29 is only 18" tall all together, and from substrate to water level is about 15". The half way rock is about...

Yeah, it didn't taste too different so I'm not really gonna drink it that much, haha. Where in PA do you live?

Thanks man. :h5: Haha, never before have I been so excited over water. Just out of curiosity, anybody drink their RO/DI water? I tried some and it tastes a lot like bottled water (at least I think) but not a whole lot different from tap.

Okay, I got the RO/DI all hooked up and it's making water :mrgreen: :D :^: :bounce: If I want to use this as top off water, should I be adding kalk or any type of buffer or can I just dump it in?

Oh yeah, definitely. That was just put together loosely to show how it's gonna work. Yeah, you did. It was on my other thread were I was looking for RO/DI hookup ideas. I posted this there first just to kinda let everyone know I found a solution. Then of course I had to upgrade my tank build...

RO/DI unit hookup Part of my planned upgrades was my RO/DI unit. After arriving with the TDS, but without all the tubing and hookups, I have had to wait to get it running. After I got the hookups and realized the system relied on a pierce valve, I wasn't too thrilled. I don't think my dad wants...

Okay, so I went to Home Depot yesterday and today. After buying a couple wrong fittings (I hate not being mechanically inclined :grumble:) I finally have a setup that will work. From left to right: Splitter so that I don't have to unhook the washer whenever I want to use my unit. Garden...

Thanks for the input guys. I'm hopefully going to take a trip to the hardware store some time this weekend and see what I can bang together.

Title says it all. I got my RO/DI unit today and I'm not really a fan of how they're telling me to hook it up.. I don't want to pierce any pipes or anything. I'm thinking about using a standard garden hose type hookup and hook it up to where our washer gets it's water, but I still need ideas and...
