Ouch... it doesn't look too bad and I think its not a easy fix but doable, not sure about fixing before the dinner party though.

And there is also a ton of upside, tank fail > RoDi fail; I rather deal with freshwater over saltwater on the floors...

Good luck with the cleanup, it looks like part of the CUC is ready to help.

OH wow! it took you less than a day to fix all that? You work fast Everytime I see a RO DI failure I cringe a little cause deep down inside I know I myself let out a few gallons or more onto carpet. Good thing for for wet vacs.

Thanks Rich ! It all worked out somehow. I woke up in the doghouse but was a hero by the end of the day.

I Got something new After much internal debate I jumped on the band wagon. And I am happy to report no 70s show here. I really like these lights and with the apex there is full control with output and spectrum. I haven't seen to many reviews on the Kessil leds so I guess only time will tell but for now I am happy.



And after 30 days corals appear to still be growing.






Yes I measured the growth lol



Blurry picture but you get the idea
