Thanks!Hello and welcome Rachel ( fish tank face ) hope all is well and hope you get great enjoyment from your new tank
Haha, yeah I just finished filling it last week. My water pressure is abysmal, so it took days to make enough water to mix! Ended up being fine, because I noodled with the scape for faaarrrr too long. I'll look through my pics and start that thread.:-DWelcome to R2R! You already got it wet eh? Was it a trial run or do you already have your scape set up? I'm afraid we are gonna have to insist on some pics!
Hahah... hey thanks!Welcome to R2R! FishTankFace is much better than TaserFace.
You may have to add a booster pump...Never used one but I know they sell them.Haha, yeah I just finished filling it last week.

I think you’re right. I was looking at them online the other day. I might try moving the unit to a different pipe, and if that doesn’t do the trick then I’ll have to go the booster route. I’m so bad with plumbing - I wish it made more sense to me!You may have to add a booster pump...Never used one but I know they sell them.
Is there a pressure gauge on your rodi unit ?Haha, yeah I just finished filling it last week. My water pressure is abysmal, so it took days to make enough water to mix! Ended up being fine, because I noodled with the scape for faaarrrr too long. I'll look through my pics and start that thread.:-D
A local hardware should have a water pressure gauge for a few bucks to check your pressure. A different water supply (pipe) will likely be the same pressure as any other in the home. Once you confirm your supply pressure, and refer to your RO/DI manual, you will know right away if you need a booster or not.I think you’re right. I was looking at them online the other day.

Hey everyone! I've lurked these threads on and off for years but finally made an account.... I just purchased my first "big girl reef tank" from Waterbox last month ... I've been in this hobby for 8 years, but I've always been very low-tech. I know I'm going to have lots of questions with my new setup and I hope I can lean on some of you for help. ....
Thank you!Welcome to R2R !
It is so nice to see someone smiling in 2022 ! You are obviously thrilled with your new tank.
Your prior experience will be a big asset as you start this project. I am sure the intelligent and knowledgeable members here will be glad to help.
Best wishes for your new project and 2022,
Jim
Hey everyone! I've lurked these threads on and off for years but finally made an account. I have a 14g biocube running for the past 8 years (and a 1 year old 125g planted freshwater). BUT, I just purchased my first "big girl reef tank" from Waterbox last month -- a 145g -- and I'm exited to share some of the build!
