Just a gripe...RO/DI takes forever

[propeine]

I'm filling my tank today with the RO/DI system I got from Randrew yesterday (Thanks Andy!) I changed the filters out, changed some gaskets, replaced the DI resin etc and now I am making 65 gallons of water...slowly. So here I am on the forums while I wait to change my buckets again.

I can empathize with you! We just did the same thing awhile back with our 150g! It took a few days!

:beer:

I did a 240 with 75 sump. Those painful days were like heaven once I was waiting to complete cycle and add fish. Drip drip drip is nice. Stair stair stair is painful.

good for the heart

Only condolence I have is next time I go to do this for the upgrade (which will probably be a 120) is that I'll have the RO/DI ahead of time and be making water for a while before I'm ready to add it.

I appreciate the perspective you guys added with the "waiting for a cycle" aspect though.

Took something like 10 days to fill my 360g, 75g sump, two Brutes for RO/DI backup, and a third Brute for kalk.

Do I get the award?

Well that makes me sound like quite the whiner doesnt it? Sure wish I still lived in Maryland where I could just go get some water from the beach 6 blocks from my house. I think you can have the award for now!

In the end, it's just part of the hobby! Anticipation can be hard but the long term rewards are great.

It's better than not having one at all. I was SOO excited to get mine that the wait is more than worth it.
