I have it set up so when I watch the Kings play I can also watch my LR cycle :p


Think i would rather watch the LR cycle:lol:
 
:lol:

I'm leaving the office now :)


Mike to answer your question (that I missed), yes the tank is drilled for a 1.5" overflow and a 1" return.

I run very low flow through my sump, so this will be fine for my application.
 
I thought Tbone was white? Thought i saw a pic with him and his skimmer and the guy was very white.

I say the guiy with his arms in the air, doing nothing:)
 
No idea, but if I had to guess, assuming you were actually in the picture, the guy holding the IS sign looks like his buddies might call him Tbone. But, the boney arse dude on the far right might get the nickname as well.
My first inclination would be the person taking the picture, mainly because I pictured you as asian as well, for what reason I have no idea.

Mr. Sexy, when do you want to pick up the RO?

I don't want to spill the beans, but I think Jim picked up one at YR today. We have been discussing them as I ordered a dual DI add on with a in line TDS. :D

Ahh, I see. Guess I don't need to worry about that then.

No, no! Id still like to use it this weekend if I can! I was thinking about heading out to your place Thurs if thats cool! YGPM :)

Davey,

yeah, wanted the ocean reef real bad, actually. They couldn't get it out in time w/out dropping more on shipping, and I saved money, so I figured this was the best move.

Got this from John/Brandon at YR. Killer deal!

The problem I'm having right now is my current MH system is on the fritz (part of the reason my I wanted to save money on the RODI :( ). I'm hoping I can get it back up and running soon, if not, gotta spring for new ballasts and bulbs.

This has been my frustration.....

Its cool though. The time is almost here, and I'm getting really excited!

Cheers,

Jim
 
I have used this unit for close to two years. Not bad for $150, I am adding two di filters with an inline TDS for another $90; 8 stage with TDS for $250. Good choice Jim :)
 
hey no prob jim. I just might have to come check out your tank once its up and runnin. Looks like it will be awesome.
 
Terry,

stage 1 is a poly filter, not sure the size. Stage 2 is carbon. Stage 3 is a carbon block. Stage 4 is RO 75gpd. Stage 5 is DI. Stage 6 is crushed coconut (not sure how useful/effective). Mark recommended it, but honestly, I prolly woulda bought the ocean reef if they could get it out to me w/out the extra shipping charge.

It'll give me 0tds I'm sure, but the OR+1 had a couple features that I like a little more (larger DI,dual TDS and pressure gauge).
