You are a treasure here.... I get a kick out of your candor at times...but yes I had a brief chuckle, and you are fine, so all good.
Thanks guys. But don't promote my bad bad behavior. Believe it or not I only say about 20% of what I Reeeeeeally want to sayI'll be honest, sometimes I check your profile just to see the kind of **** you're starting. I wouldn't wish any sort of catastrophe on you, though. Or enjoy any failure on your part. Glad you pulled through. I didn't expect you were an old fart, though.
Couldn't care less at this point tbh.... after my ENTIRE water volume was at 6.5ph, it was a matter of doing a 90% total WC quickly. Tap is all I had at that volume.So how’s your parameters after filling with tap water?
No 57 going on 12. My sarcasm on R2R has forced the Rev to give me TWO separate 30day suspensions.I had to message him a few weeks ago because I couldn’t tell his age from his posts. I thought he was 25!
Poor Zoa! Who would dare suspend him???? :mad:Thanks guys. But don't promote my bad bad behavior. Believe it or not I only say about 20% of what I Reeeeeeally want to say

I'll weekly (or should I say WEAKLY) change over to RODI thru WCs, followed by testing

My wife one time asked why I hadn't been on my "fish forum" fir some time. I told her I was in R2R JAIL.
Some ppl can't handle the cold truth. So they report me. Lol
I just view it like spending 2mins in the Penalty Box during a hockey game for checking them.hsrd into the board.
I know I'm not well liked by quite a few of ppl on R2R bc of my personality. Some probably smiling at my chaotic day yesterday. but thanks @WVNed for your kind words
I'm 57 and one-handed, I have an awful time with the 5 gallon buckets. I do water changes but not as often as I should!I'm 57. Decent health but not in the best of shape.
I was extremely physically tested yesterday after an emergency with my 220ish total water volume system forced me into having to do a LARGE emergency WC. A bunch of vinegar got into my water volume by accident dropping pH to 6.5
Since sump in basement full of 6.5 pH water too, in a panic Had to do an emergency shutoff of all pumps. Quickly drain 180g tank down to 2ins.
I had NO AMT of any water that large in the basement to replace the DT quickly thru my sump main pump back upstairs
Thought about a long garden hose run to basement .... but have read there's all kinds of TOXIC things in "hose water" bc the inside of a hose is N A S T Y
In a panic, used tap water from garage faucet, prime dechlorinator.... and rushing 30+ 5g buckets back n forth from garage to DT
Physically carrying 5g buckets full of SW from garage to DT.... About 50 steps.... lifting the bucket high enough to dump into DT.
5g bucket of saltwater = roughly 45lbs. with a handle that wants to cut thru your fingers... Yikes!!!
At 57 yrs old, had to take many 5min breaks (sucking wind) bc the lifting and carrying was busting my (lower round things) B A D.
Any 50+ older ppl out there finding it physically hard to do a completely manual emergency WC?
.
that's 6 words.....8 if you count "two words"Two words; water change station with a pump
You need some kind of pump to pump it up the stairs for you. Make the water on the bottom then use the pump to pump water up. For that matter use 2 dosing pumps one to pump water down stairs out the window or whatever lolI’m 46 with spiral stairs and don’t like doing my biweekly 30g water changes LOL! 30 out & 30 in…. 5 gallons at a time up & down my twisty stairs
