Thanks Leah!

If they're NOT in the tank then my wife is going to wonder who I've been staring at in there lol.

Got a better pic of my bi blenny



And how's THIS for ghetto? I was sick of filling my ice cream pail every 2 days for topoff so I ran my rodi from the bathroom to above the stairs and ran my topoff pump and stuff through the wall to the same place. Here's the glorious result lol. And yes I HAVE already smacked my head on it.

That's what you get for being so dang tall! Ladeez love ya but the noggin' bumps on ceilings.

Cute lil' blenny BTW.

Question, if you use an ATO pump to deliver the RO/DI anyhow, what's stopping you from just putting the bucket at the bottom of the stairs and running the line up? It might just be a slower fill cycle time, but I bet it could lift the water enough still?

God I wish I could be there when you knock your head and spill a whole bucket of water down your neck!

Wow Tunze site says max head is 3.6m!

I'd never have guessed that...hence the ghetto mount.

Lance even if I did that I'd have nothing on your gooBlast story

Please note that like Kien I have gone with an espresso stain for the platform to match the other decor (in pieces) at the bottom of the stairs.

Hey Brett.... Glad to see you've made use of that pail I forgot down there! Haha.

Do you manually add water to the pail or does it ATO itself or you have a line to feed it to fill?





Cheers man!

lmao. i KNEW that pail wasn't one of mine. Mystery solved (and thanks for the freebie!).

The red ro/di line going into the bucket (with a fancy sch80 1.5" coupler tie wrapped to it for weight) goes up thru the floor into the bathroom. My ro/di is under the bathroom sink. I just manually fill the pail once a week. Pretty low tech!

Ahah! I blew out the return line today as a matter of fact and I'll have you know there were "NO" incidents! Operation went smooth as silk.
