ok added a dozen or so hermits to the tank and 6 to the fuge today. I also ran the screen all the way up the back on the advice of my LFS just to be safe. Cromis is doing great the water is the same as yesterday.

Ok Got my top off tank set up. Pumped and plumed now just got to find a auto top off system I like or at least a good float switch.

Do you have an ro/di maker? WHen I got mine I ordered a float, and we cut a hole in the sump and put the float in there....Don't need any switches with that, the ro/di unit has a shut off thingy.

my ro/di unit is a long way from the tank. The plan is to have the 10 gallon tank to pump from and Ill fill the 10 gallon tank that should last a week. I just bring jugs from the unit to refill that tank. Right now I just plug in the pump fill the sump unplug when it is full. I want a auto switch to control the pump.

My ro/di unit is in the room next door...LOL...I had my husband run a line under the house, we then drilled a small hole in the floor by the tank, and ran the line in thru there.....I was sooooo tired of topping off 2-3g's per day in the 225....
I still have to top off my 54 and 29 though...I also have a 10g container in the other room that I have an ato..I keep it filled for w/c's and top offs of the small tanks

my plan it to pot a full sink in the counter next to the tank. When that gets done will move my ro uint then. the water lines are easy to run the drain is a little tricky.
