    How do RO/DI systems connect to the faucet? I live in a student rental house that we are moving out of in August. I was wondering how easily a RO/DI unit can attach to the existing faucet, are there plumbing changes that need to be made? thanks Jason

    I'm stuck....

    yup i have a skimmer, they sure are messy eaters. I don't mind if the pion fish eats the damsel (he is a mean one) but I'd like to keep the clowns. I was hoping that the lion being so small when introduced to the clowns would leave them alone once he gets larger......is this not the case...
