    Desperately Needing To Upgrade my CUC....

    Do a search on Typhoon III or airwater ice. Good units that alot of folks have and are priced well too. Plus their support is very good. I had one in my old house and bought a new one for my current house this past year. never any trouble with either unit.

    Desperately Needing To Upgrade my CUC....

    Did the diatom bloom occur after upgrading the lighting? If nothing else has changed I would think that it's from the upgrade. You may want to cut the lights back a little then bring them back up to the 9hrs. slowly giving the tank a chance to adjust. Adding to the cuc wouldn't hurt either.

    Re-Cycling RO Waste

    I wonder if you can loop the drain back to the water in connection with a wye connector to mix with the incomming water from your faucet. Just food for thought.

    Re-Cycling RO Waste

    I sometimes run my drain line in to the washer to get a load of laundry started. I've also been thinking of a way to run it outside to a storage contain to use for watering the plants.

    Our little SW VA group is growing... I stopped in the PAWS petshop in Lynchburg yestedday. They have decent size sw section in their fish room, but seem to be way over priced. $29.00 for a false perc and $22.00 for a royal gramma. It was nice to look.

    Royal Gramma moderate level?

    Just got one on Friday as part of my SWF order. Figured i try one again as the one a had acouple of yrs ago lasted for a week. Since it was 1.99 on special was worth trying again. I guess I'll see how my luck goes this time. So far he seems happy in the QT.
