Sean's 150 Gallon In wall Upgrade!!!

[Cove Beach]

Sean this is why i waited till i had water in it to post any pics, i know how this crowd operates!! Take your time, and do it right the first time. You'll get water on the floor regardless, its a reef thing!

Put a bottle of water in your tank like someone did in one of their thread, when everyone started to ask for water . Just an idea.

You outta take a video of the moment of truth... Just remember to close that ball valve on the end of the manifold.... wouldn't want to shoot water out the window! :lol:

Got water anyone?????My RO isnt keepin up this is gonna kill me Ive been emptying all my cans in to the system so far there isnt a drop in the big tank eeeeekkkk!!!!!

Cold source water does equal very slow production. Just add more as it collects.

 

[DiscoReefRover]

I turned on the hotwater valve this morning to boost pruduction still cant keep up!!!!

 

[melev]

Be VERY careful. If the water is 110F even for a few minutes, you'll ruin the membrane.

You can always buy water at the LFS or supermarket if you can't wait longer.

my second problem cant go anywhere wife is cooking me dinner for my Bday i got older today!!!!!

 

[DiscoReefRover]

Oh so your not worried I have both hot and cold plumbed to my ro so they mix cause in the winter my tap water gets really cold!!!!so I warm it up by crackin the hot open a turn or two

 

[melev]

You need to measure the temperature. Your goal temperature would be 76F. That being said, the crap that accumulates inside a water heater is not what I would ever consider reef-safe.

Just grab some snow and shovel it in. As it melts, you'd have a water test in progress.

Just make sure to avoid that yellow snow. :lol:
