Wow, that's rough man! We're about 10 minutes away from SF. Funny you should mention that...I'll actually tell Steve to take his time if he's already...
Someone did! :) Did you make it there too? Good to see the great state of Pennsyltucky is well represented here on 3reef.
Dang it, slocal! The truth comes out AFTER we give you + karma, lol. Well, props to Peredhil for looking out and protecting us newbies! ;)
Thanks all! We're new, but we've definitely been studying and doing our homework before diving in. One comment about this...we'll need a few hours...
This is helpful. Thank you for clearing this up for us guys! +karma to you both ;D
Sounds good, no problem, we can raise the temperature a little bit. Liveaquaria (Drs. Foster & Smith), Petco, etc. all speak of ~50% water changes...
With our saltwater staging setup in place, we now have ~80g heated (~75F), mixed (to 1.024sg) and ready to go. We are picking up our Bali LR from the...

OK, so while I do agree with this...my understanding is that API's Stress Coat Marine is reef-safe...so with my new fill should I just go with the...
I'd only add that your choice of a 75gpd model was a very good one...it should get you "good" production (in painfully slow ro/di water-making terms,...
Thank you very much for the help guys...wish I would have checked with you all first! Looks like my first of many lessons that I will learn along the...
I was told it would not be a problem (mixing the start-up batch of saltwater in the tank). Obviously, I have a separate setup now in place for mixing...
