I'd like to see what yours looks like, Chris. I've been contacted many times by hobbyists in AU telling me that they can't find RO/DI systems in their country. I've always thought that couldn't be true.

I like the partner in crime idea! lol =)
 
Hey NG,

Thanks for the tip on the food. Clowns have a gourmet buffet now! :)

Oh, aside from the tank I also have this beauty-- remembering a past post I think you might appreciate her, LOL

G'day Marc,

No worries here's 2 pictures of mine, the first is the unit,

And the second is a close up of the tap that allows you to use or not the Di section of the filter. As it is now, I'm using the Di, turn it 90 degrees left or right and you get Ro only.

This unit comes already set-up. If you are a member of one of the marine societies, then you get a discount as well.

Here's a link for the filters, ask for Peter Howard, top bloke.

PSI Filters

And here's a link for the local Forum, and to join for the discount,

Cheers

Wednesday Update!

Okay... well a lot has been going on over here behind the scenes and as most of you know we have been going back and forth on what to uprgade too and what we can afford and all that so i'm happy to say we have finally made our decision.

We are moving in March into a new house and the expenses from that have been a lot to deal with. We're not going to be able to do the 240g like we were thinking right now. so instead of going with a 125 (which i don't want) or a 180 (would still want the 240) we are going to go with the 120.

Ocean needs something bigger then the 75. He's done really well but I want to get him something bigger, and my hope is that he will live another couple of years happyily in the 120 and then at that point upgrade to the 240 if we can and keep the 120 for my eel tank. If any of you remember my older threads that was my goal from a long time ago. We went with the 75 only for now so we wouldn't have to move as large of a tank.

I think the 120 will be perfect for what we have at this point in our lives. I'm hoping within a few years the 240 will be more realistic, but if it's not then at least we have a 120 to enjoy which is my fav size tank (non nano) under 180g.

Ocean is still small and I think he will be happy in the 120 for a bit. I still believe a 6' tank is a much better option, but at this point I am hesitant on doing a 125 only bc of Ocean with how delicate tangs are and especially with a big move coming up.

(:

Well I will be very interested in your 120 upgrade ;) I was thinking of what fish I would like to add to mine when its ready and I am just not sure if its enough room for a couple of tangs. I have a yellow in my 65 now and its a model citizen but I have heard that they can be aggressive to other tangs in the tank unless they were the last tang added. Whats your timeline for the 120?
 
Yay! I think a 120 is a great idea. You're going to have so many house projects - decorating, personalizing, etc. That is part of the reason I decided on a 90g instead of a larger one. I'd rather take great care of a 90g than ok care of a 240. You've done such a great job with this 75 and I can't wait to see the 120 upgrade. Yay again!
 
By the way, I think you should take an earlier suggestion about renaming this thread. You're on 120,000 views - why start over now???!!!
 
I'll help keep your thread going! :) How are the sugar gliders doing? I miss mine. When I have time in my life to care for them again I know who to I.M first!
 
Hey nanogurl, Not sure if you remember me, But i love your new tank and how it's coming along.
Can't wait to see the bigger one.

Ocean is a beauty ;)

I'm going to start getting stuff for it right away, but the tank itself won't be setup until march at some point once we move in. :)

aww thanks :) Yea, you're right. The house project is just so much to deal with... and between the gliders, ferrets, house, bf and fish it's just too much.

I love your 90 thread you guys are too cute :)

Thanks! =) If things go well I should have the tank in Feb.
 
Octupus skimmers.

What are your opinions? I like the idea that you can run them out of sump.

What are your thoughts on out of sump skimmers? Better or worse?
