If i didn't need to do a water change i would of dropped some off too. Still need to donate my money to club you guys are always willing to help others. I like it. Can't wait to see the updated pictures.
 
Well, last I saw Mr. Sexy, he was off to get some new plumbing fittings, as the drain and return line were switched, and his manifold no longer fit as intended. The tank is on the stand, and about 1/3 full. There are 2 RO units working at the moment, but his water pressure is only at 30psi, so it'll take a loooong time.

Thanks for the 125 Jim. I'll put it to good use once I get a stand built for it.:D
 
so it was half full (at 4:13pm) and 1/3 full (at 4:15pm). That's some major evaporation! :D JK. Glad you're almost *there*!
 
Davey and JT, thanks for all the help!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!!!

Jeremy, enjoy the new tank ;)

I figured out why my RODI wasn't working well..... there is a valve on the waste, I thought it should be open all the way.... nope...... it should be closed, and when in that closed position it will allow for the proper rejection...... DOH!!!!!

Needless to say, the water pressure is a little low, but the water is well on its way :D

I'm waiting right now for some more rodi, which is well on its way. I have about 40 gallons I'm going to put in before I crash..... and crash I will. I am BEAT!!!!!!!!!
 
I just wanted add,

thank you very much to those that stoped by today. I would not be anywhere near where I am now without all of your help.

Davey, Jeremy and Mark, Thanks!! Truly a very generous display, and I will not forget it!!!

Scubajim, if you're out there, sorry I missed your call. Its just been crazy! We'll catch up tomorrow!

Jim
 
Yeah, its run off the overflow, but a little different because this over flow is in the center. On my last set-up I was able to go straight down into the skimmer, on this set-up I had to go down, then over with a 90. Same idea though. In about 4 weeks expect to see something different down there :D
 
NO problem Jim. Glad i could help a little, wish i could have done more but was pulling double duty.

Jim, Its got to be full, right?

If you guys ever see a Hawaiian cleaner like Jims at Exotic please call or PM me. I gotta have one

Thanks for the Frag Jeremy much appreciated
 
Davey- Exotic gets a couple of those in a month.

Here's mine from the same shipment

Jim- I was glad to come by and deliver some water. You should be doing a wet run by tomorrow morning ;)
 
Terry, I honestly don't even know yet ;)

Davey,

Zoe was great. I appreciate that you would come all the way down here and lend a hand!

The tank is about....7/8 full. Right up to the overflow. But the sump is dry. I should have enough by morning :D
