My tank has the kool-aid.

[banshee]

Geez! Your tank gets all the action and my fish won't even pair up. Not fair!

How much dark matter did you add to make everything do it?

TDS went from 085 to 008 today. I changed the sediment filter (after 1 year) from 1.0 micron to 0.5 micron.

I also changed the DI block. I found no information anywhere on what the color in this color indicating cartridge is supposed to change to. I even emailed spectrapure who are ridiculous about never getting back to a customer, I should have PMd DesertRat. Anyway.

It looked like this, which I am sure means it needed replacing:

I have a new membrane and a new carbon block still in the packaging. Spectrapure's website and RO/DI manuals say that the way to check if your RO membrane has exhausted is to check chlorine from the waste water. I did and it was clean which meant that both the carbon block and the membrane are still intact and doing their job.

The spectrapure resin always confused me too , so I now use this :

All of my other filters still come from spectrapure & I keep everything in the .5 micron range with great results. I change my sediment & carbon every 6 months .

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. She's not quite as big today and is active, swimming around and eating, also chasing Draco. Yup, she had gas. Incarcerated flatus.

Hey everybody. In Tank news I tried to set up the new IM Mini Mac reactor but the size I got (mid-size) is too small for both GFO and Carbon which I like to run. So I'm getting another IM reactor, but the desktop size to run GFO and Carbon separately.

 

Tank looks good and fluffy. I think Bella is a sick fish. Her body looks fine but she goes through carb coma or something halfway through the day where she basically is very still and starts to loose color from a certain spot. Her behavior at this time is listless, vacant, and generally pretty stressful to watch. If she has internal parasites, her body would be showing signs of decline in body mass, caved in stomach or such but she is fine in that respect. I wish I knew what causes her to be this way.

My awesome cable management

 

From the front

 

And totally random, Bogi like to sunbathe in the mornings

[metrokat]

I have no idea what the wires in the living room are. It's okay to be ghetto-fabulous I think.
