Quick update:
Reef is fine. PLTA is fat. Fish are fat too. Everything is fat.
I set up a 29g Tall to use as a second QT. Have a bunch of stuff coming in this week.
Something I have been meaning to post about is DI Resin. I have been buying my resin from discounters like a couple of eBay sellers for the past 18+ months, but I had noticed varying resin lifespans. It got to the point where it seemed I was getting about half the water production compared to when I started out.
I discussed this with fellow reefers and a couple I respect a lot pointed me toward Spectra Pure. I have bought some items from them in the past and have found Scott to be very knowlegable, so although somewhat like asking the fox about the henhouse count, I discussed resin with him. I was more looking for specialized resin but after some back and forth, he convinced me that all I needed was the regular mixed bed resin.
I picked up a bunch in the Fall of '07 and just now changed out my first canister. While I realize that the Spectra Pure resin is double or even triple the cost of many resins available, the results speak for themselves. In reef keeping, quality does matter and I am really happy that I switched.
