It's here and it's setup but not running yet because my stepson broke the bulkhead fitting by accident. Lowes says they have them on the website but sometimes it lies so I will go after church tomorrow to see I am too beat tonight after moving 4 aquariums. It's really cloudy right now but hopefully in the morning it will be clear and I can get a better picture.

Can you post it under white lights, it’s kinda hard to see. Ha kidding!

I don't have blue lights yet but a friend of mine found a deal on some that he days are great he's going to pick them up and ship them to me. He lives near Virginia Beach and saltwater things are much cheaper there.

Little more clear this morning! I ordered the bulkhead fitting from Amazon it will be here Tuesday. I have my RODI unit going to have a batch of water to add to it going to test the salinity before I mix salt in it to see if I need fresh or saltwater. Also here's a pic of my tiny hitchhiker.

Agreed! That moment the tank is filled with water, then sand and rock! You just want to pull up a chair and gaze at the cloudy wonderfulness of it all. And then that next morning waking up to this clear, magical setting.

I'm still so excited when my husband fixes the bulkhead that broke he's also going to replace the hoses the guy had with pvc pipes.

Ok:
C1*V1=C2*V2
For you, it's likely going to be approximately:
100*1.03 = X*1 = about 3 gallons?
