Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yeah ik I need to get a RODI unit. I am trying to save up. Also I don’t think my parents want it in the laundry room.
For now, can you afford to buy distilled water by gallon from grocery store? Inside where they sell it, not those dispensers you hold a jug under.

I have a water service that drops off those office cooler jugs of distilled water - I also use the actual office cooler so it’s a win win for me. I live in a rental Parker with a very strict landlord so can’t put in any type of RODI unit.

Also, my LFS provides jugs of saltwater to my house and they have very good water. you could make ur own saltwater with the distilled. Again, temporary fix until you can afford and also convince your parents to setup one.
 
Hope y'all had a great day today!
@ESABOE could really use a Corona and some tacos right now!

Omg - how did you know?!?!

I’m toast; but in a good way.

Feel like I got hit by a truck.
I'm toast, also in a different way.
 
Ok should I order some of the other stuff?
No. The only thing with the one you got is that it's in pills that have to be opened and dumped in instead of administered with a scoop.

Lol- when u said it was harder I thought u meant the actual treatment.

Sorry Parker- save your money and do the pill

Nope, harder to use because you have to open the pills and dump the contents out. It's the same active ingredient I believe.
 
We're talking coffee on the Coral Vault live sale thread. Specifically Vietnamese Egg Coffee and Turkish Coffee.
