    Scott you bring up some good points. Maybe there is more to the water then RO/DI. I do have something called a Water Zero drinking water filter system and it came with a pen that I can "test" the water. My tap water says: 129 ppm. The pen says: TDP Tester. Model ZT-2 On/Off Switch and HMD. Again...

    Ok so the selling idea might be a bit out there... But it should still pay for me using it, plus I can trust my water vs walmarts or something. What do they range?

    Well yea. IF I buy a few gallons a week for water changes I feel as if a ro/di machine Would pay for itself in a matter of months. IF I sell a few gallons on Craigslist I could maybe even make a buck or two?

    Thanks for the replies! I am def going to get the intank media rack next. My tank should be delivered today. I also want to get an ro/dI machine, but don't want to spend a 5pm. I live In an apt so it has to be simple and I would prefer just pouring water into filter rather the. Hooking it up to...

    Hello everyone. It has been a while since I posted here. The last time I posted I was having issues with my 30g tank. It was my 1st try at a tank, and the pressure of problems, and life had just gotten to me, so I took down my tank. My brother has a 14g Biocube and he was very happy with the...

    About to throw in the towel.

    Ok guys, I am going to give it a shot. I have read all of your comments and I am about to start trying to solve this problem. Turbo Snails. I had four of them, but they all died. Any idea why? I am going to cut back my feeding to two or three days a week. I am only going to feed them a few...

    So I have had my tank set up since mid March. You can look for my previous post about just getting everything set up, as this is a new topic I thought I would post a new thread and not highjack my old one. My sand was turning brown a lot in the beginning and I had a lot of green hair algee. Now...

    What else do I need to get before I can start putting water into my tank

    I don't have a phosphate test yet. I am going to get one at petco today. My pH is at 8.0 (how do I get that up to 8.2?) My Ammonia is 0 My Nitrate is 0 and my Nitrate is about 10ppm. I am going to buy a new sponge type cleaner to get the hard to reach spots that my magnate cleaner can't get. I...
