yeah I am on there notify list. maybe I should get on others too.I have gotten 3 from BRS, just go to the page for the Versa and click notify when they are in stock. Then you have to be quick to order them. Ecotech is currently trying to catch up, and they will, just not sure how long before they are able to catch up. Their new facility is fully up and running, so they should be making more than before.
The last question is tough to answer but you could do the math.
For years I did monthly 30% water changes without problems. I didn’t have acros then. Later, I switched to 10% weekly changes with acros and all was good. Most of the time I used IO but controlled alkalinity in tank around 8 dKH.
I've use IO as is now. I used to add acid to drop the alk a little, but for a normal 10% wc I don't bother anymore.
thanks guys I will not worry about it then.
