Thanks everyone. I will wait the 24 this time and then get it made up a week early from here on out. I was wondering if anyone had tried to put a spicket (sp) on a trash can or how do you get the water to your tank? That seems to be an issue (for me) when you have large water changes.

There goes my plan for the day. thanks for the info.

I got my ro/di setup and was reading about making my own water. Some say to wait 24 hours before adding to tank. I read a couple of posts that they just mix and add. I have two powerheads and a heater running in the tub. I would like some opinions on what is normal for this. Thanks

I got it back together minus the gauge. I guess since it was hooked up wrong, I don't have the extra part to extend it up behind the back where the intake line is. I sure hope that made sense. Anyway, thanks for your help and I will check to see what I will need to do that.

Okay, I only made matters worse. I removed the lines and there was a black skinny long piece inside one of the lines. I moved it where I was putting the intake and then I didn't get any water. Do you know which one this piece goes on?

Thanks, I will compare the pics and see what I come up with.

The yellow is the waste, is that supposed to be coming out of the top or the last canister? This is how the previous owners had it setup but maybe it is not right.

I purchased this used unit with a tank. The gauge reads 0. The unit works fine, made me lots of water yesterday. I was so excited. I also got lots of goodies with this deal. Does anyone know what the piece would go to?

I bought a used tank and a captive purity ro/di came with it. I have never used a water system before. On the new system directions it says not to install the TFC etc. I wanted to know if I need to go through the steps since it has been used already. Anyone buy one used, what would I need to...

I get mine off with a razor blade. I can't think of any other way.

I am trying to do this too. Visual works better for me anyday. http://www.brettsreef.com/how-to-build-a-sump-with-baffles/

I hope this is in the right forum. I purchased a 72g bowfront yesterday. It has alot of sand, still wet and doesn't smell. I am not setting up the tank right now, I actually bought it for the ro/di system. I got the whole setup for $100 so I couldn't pass it up. How can I store the sand to...

I just went in to feed them and thought I would give flakes a try today. The clowns (well, all the fish) went crazy eating. I can't tell if the spot is better but he is eating. They are due to go back to DT Saturday the 16th. If the spot is still there but he is eating, should I leave him...
