its called being 23 years old working 56 hours a week, going to school, tanking care of a large 3 floor house, caring after a 91 year old woman and my messy boyfriend, AND STILLLL having the patients to even spend my time and money on a salt water aquarium with no help from mommy and daddy like a large majority of people are blessed with not to mention getting my butt to the gym and out jogging like atleast 3xs a week. i think im doing pretty damn well for "todays youth" grandpaaaa.
but again thats just my thought on that.
i deserve a damn trophy or something.

im going to back you a nice cake. :)

There's A LOT wrong with today's youth, including their reasoning.

It's more worth lugging jugs of RO and paying LFS prices instead of buying a unit because you can flood your floors? Lol

(Its called paying attention to your water produced and if you can't do that you put the jugs your filling in a larger container so if they overflow the bigger one catches the water)

lol today's youth is everyone's future.

So is the tank still foggy???
How are things looking inside the glass box??
I too do not have an rodi unit.
I used to. But I fell asleep while making water. (And yes the bucket was in the sink).
But still floode my kitchen floor with about 4 gallons of water.
The ceiling under me got trashed.
2500 dollars later. All good.
That was one expensive rodi unit.


water is back to being clear now. thank you for asking.

why not just get a brute can on wheels. Run the RO on a solenoid with a double float switch and also have it go through another floating switch that's plumbed into the tank as a back up. I never had an issue (since I did this). You guys gotta get your self an RODI it's so much easier then buying water. Plus I am sure you spend money on other stuff every time you go get water. Wow thinking about it if I had a LFS i would sell water for cost just to get the customers through the door. Once we're in an addict can't control him self. they should offer a comp bucket with every live stock purchase, a customer needs 15 gallons so they buy a fish and 2 frags!

YOUR A STICKY!









.... whats a sticky ?:bigeyes:

Haha. YOUR A STICKY! Love it.

I've had my rodi overflow almost every other time I turn it on. Luckily. Mine is in the basement and it's unfinished. The water just runs to the drain.

But bulkreefsupply has a water detection device that cuts off the water once it detects it. I'm sure you could set up an rodi in your bathroom and the bucket in tub with that device. Only if you change your mind and want to get an rodi unit. If not come over my house and get saltwater and ro water.

This thread is hilarious. It should be moved though no? Out of the vendor thread?
