Thanks for the heads up Jon. I'm in the market for a few tanks

[Mugwump]

That's a decent price too.... ...plus he said 'obo'...

[JC]

Yeah I was shocked by the price. I don't need that many though just a 75, couple 10's, and that 5. I do need a couple 29's but he didn't have any of those listed. I'll wait for petco's $1/gal sale if I have to

Snag the RO unit too, if you can...??..or just take em all and sell/trade em off somewhere??

[JC]

I've never messed with RO. So not too sure how it works or if it would work for me

50/50 blend tap/RO....lowers the tds's, etc....

Do you have to add anything to it?  I've heard you have to add minerals (?) to RO water otherwise your fish will die

Heck no..........just adjust the blend that's all....20/80...30/70.....yada yada...I've heard of some water doing a PH bounce....but if you blend, and age...the bouncing is over before you use it...I've done it here and no issues with Ph or anything.....just do a trial to adjust your own needs......

[JC]

What do you mean 20/80, 30/70. What is that?

vary your RO to tap water blend....20% R/O-80%tap water....yada yada...

[JC]

Ah

That's how I do my RO water. I blend it to the tds numder of my tanks. Close to 150tds. Then I age it for 24 hours before I use it. That way I can heat it to tank temp too. I don't add anything other than filtered tap water. It's helped outa lot for spawning.
