    Do I need anything else for my 750???

    I think I'd just buy a ticket to the Atlanta aquarium and save the money...;D

    What I think Tangster is trying to say, and I agree, that it would be much easier & simpler to mix the water in your main tank (and much much cheaper) then having it done elsewhere. Not to mention the trouble and expense of moving the stuff.

    You will need to invest in a RO/DI unit anyway for your water source...so now is the time to do it. Will easily pay for itself.

    Am just curious how you go about moving that much water from LFS to your home?

    I know you said something about renting a truck to help do it, but what do you put it in to move it? :confused:

    That is like 100 5gal containers, or 50 10gal. from each LFS, or do you use large plastic garbage cans?

    That is how I did it, by the way, when I first filled my 125 with natural sea-water from the Seattle Aquarium. But I could fill them with a hose directly from the aquarum processing plant, then I used a small pump to move it from the garbage pails to the tank at home. (cost $.05 a gallon)

    500 gallons is allot of water to move.

    Just wondering?

    I was referring to the initial fill up a R/O will take a while for a simple unit to handle..
    But it seems you have that sorted out way to go ;) You'll have that rascal filled and salted in no time
