    can u clarify some things?

    Quality heater" with the describing word Quality in this sense means having a better than average heater so focus on the word "quality"?. Or are we focusing on the word "heater" meaning regaurdless of the quality you need to have a heater. both are important, although I think they differ in there level of importance. I think Quality Heater should be changed to just "Heater" the level of quality should be left to discresion. but jmho

    What about cal reactors or cal.alk,mag dosing? or is this included under kalk/additives?


    Ok ignore the heater part. I realized or assumed now this is more of an issue to overall sucess rather than specific equipment neccessary. my mistake.

    Last thing can we add to this list?

    I think the OP needs to be edited and in big words with red font add the words PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS B4 YOU POST!!!

    Otherwise this is going to contunie to happen because some people DONT read the post, they just skim through and post away.

    It's ok. I'll take the input anywhere I can get it :)

    Thanks everyone for sending your input so far. We're about half way to our goal. We still need more! (I feel like a telethon announcer!)

    Restating the first post - come on folks, send your top 10!! :)

    Here are the instructions:

    1) Look at the list below and choose your top 10 from the list.

    2) Send me a personal message with your top 10 IN PRIORITY ORDER (e.g. put your most important item first and least important last).
