It worked well , thanks for the fast shipping .


Well , starting making RO water directly into the tank last night .. Good grief its slow lol . should be full by sunday night .


I changed the prefilter and carbon filter on the RO machine first. figured i would start fresh ,


Took a few pics of my current tank too. new phone camera so why not . Plus when i woke up this morning the tank looked really good .

4. Due a water change and tests on old tank ..

Geo looks simpler, probably quieter pump as well. If it's less money, it's an easy choice.
