Well the used co2 bottle I got expired in 2008 and had to be sent off to be tested. Hopefully everything is good with it and they will be able to fill it. If not then I'll have to buy a new bottle. Really hoping this one is good still
 
Picked up a 5 stage rodi today woo. Might actually start putting 0 tds water in my tank instead of tap. Uh oh did I just let everyone know I use tap water

Made a 2nd chamber for my cal reactor. Still not co2 but it's running anyway. Everything is ready to go just need to screw the regular on the bottle when I get it back.

Now my stand is super packed. Like I can't do anything inside.

Maybe the wife will let me do the fish room now

Yeah right!

[MENTION=1277]jrpark22000[/MENTION] is this the color I should be seeing for the salifert alk test. This is the first pinkish color I see. Just curious if this is the color or if it needs to be bolder
 
The only salifert I use is MG. Key to any color test, the light you use is critical. The endpoint color will change drastically depending on your light source (3k, 6k, halogen, sunlight, etc.) I use API alk for daily testing and always use the same light source above my frog tanks. Instead of focusing on the actual number of your alk, if your tank is thriving, simply continue to use the same test kit brand and shoot for the same endpoint. When buying a refil kit, it doesn't hurt to compare the new kit to the old for a few times to ensure they match.

Well I'm slowly switching over to salifert for everything. Alk mostly because I'm trying to figure out my exact consumption so once my co2 bottle is filled then I can dial in my calcium reactor a little faster
 
The co2 tank passed the hydro test and is filled. [MENTION=2509]rockhead[/MENTION] is going to pick it up for me next week. Woo getting excited. Got one last suprise coming from battlecorals. It's healing up right now should be here on the 4th.

I know it's expensive compared to other tests, but do yourself a favor and get a Hanna alk checker. As often as we sps dudes need to check alk, you'll be glad you have a Hanna.

Also, tap water? WTH? Just kidding, but like Joe said, that could have been at least part of your issue. Did you mount the new rodi unit under your tanks?

You get the Battle Stag?

I was thinking about the Hanna, just depends on my fish budget this month.

No I didn't mount the rodi under the tank? Just the gfo/ carbon and the diy 2nd chamber for my cal reactor.

Who told you about the battlestag? That's top secret
