    no RODI for two years. adn i wondered why i couldnt keep hard corals, and harder fish.

    well just got my tds meter in today. tomorrow i sanitize as to AZDESERTRATS instructions adn setup the thing. im hoping that this means my parents will let me setup that ten gallon for FW also since all i needed to buy was water adn since i dont need to do that anymore, there wouldnt be much to it.

    ill post pics of both tanks tomorrow and will update everyweek of using RODI water.

    lets do this,

    Congrats, you will be pleased once you have gotten most of the old water changed out.

    i got it from a friend. i believe it cost me 40 bucks. but the friend understood my situation of barely any money flow coming to me so he decided since he didnt need it he would sell it to me real cheap.

    Sounds like you have a good friend. Just make sure you repay the favor one day. Good friends are hard to find sometimes
