It's filling up now with ro/di, should take 4 hours... I'll keep you posted.

After talking with a couple guys on RC, I've decided to hook up my RO/DI to my Apex so I'm waiting on a couple float valves and solenoid before I can make any water.

I so wish I could do this too. Guess those are the perks of a fish room!

FYI, I'm pretty sure I saw at Home Depot a roller cart for those 32 gal Brute's. It looked exactly like one of the flower pot rollers with 4 wheels. Not sure if it'll hold 300 lbs of water, but worth looking into if you don't have a method of moving that can around.

I thought about one of those, but another $50 was not justified. I just set it next to the tank on a Friday night, fill with ro/di, add salt, mix and heat and it should be ready by Saturday afternoon hopefully. Then it just goes back into the office until the next change.

Thanks for the inspiration Dom!

My new mixing/water change system seems to work good. I am starting to find that there is always room for improvement in this hobby.

Bblinks picked me up an Appleberry Monti (on the right) from Tim T. Went to Rich's place tonight and I am completely blown away with how much he has added to his tank in a few months!
It's incredible, and going to look amazing once it grows in. This guy is a master! Thanks again Rich for all your help and advice!

Encrusting Monti's have really peaked my interest, and I'm thinking I may go with them, rather than Chalices. We'll see how this first one does though.
Need to start adding corals with colours other than green, lol. Still haven't added any new fish, that will be next.

No updates. I'm in the dog house for spending too much money this month, lol!

Picked up some bulk with Rich (thanks again buddy), so I'll post once I figure out my dosage and using the Libra.

Lol I droped by Riches house after work about a year and a half ago to pick up some frags . I told my My wife the traffic was really bad on hwy 1. I forgot that my wife had me set up for find my iPhone . I was doing a lot of long distance bike rides back than I was training for the RTCC and we thought it would be a good idea if she could track me on my rides . I guess she could hear in my voice that I wasn't being truthful about my travels so she GPS me lol . In here mind I was cheating on her but lol I was just hanging with Rich looking at his frag tank.
Man was she ****ed but the pink lemonaid and pink stylo was worth it
