Hey all, I just excitedly ordered a Tunze 3155 ATO and am trying to figure out a good resevoir container to pair it with. This will be my first...
If you can find one that sells pre-mixed and is a quality LFS, that might hold you over until you get the RO/DI unit. But again you're going to be...
Got it, what type of water does the grocery store carry, what is the cost? You'll need to remember that you will have to buy water for the water...
what ballast are you using to drive the bulbs (or is it a fixture?), that will make a lot of difference in the color a bulb will put out.
IMO opinion I wouldn't hold off on the RO/DI unit. Think of how important the water quality is to the tank, water is the foundation of the tank....

+100 if you dont have kids you've got no complaints
I hear ya, I had no issues with my 55g either when I used it, just wondered about my sand sifters like my nassarius, would they get stuck in those...
I'm on the fence on eggcrate, I did use it initially in my 55g reef but did not use it in my new shallow 70g cube. The stacks in my cube are small...
+1 if it's an empty tank, just have circulation and a heater in there so the salt dissolves evenly. And of course make sure to test it over the next...
