Heres a hint at what came in the mail today:

15 gallons of peanuts, and...
(lol upside down pic)
The rooms a little dark, but I got a 4 stage brs rodi unit with dual inline tds meters, auto shut off, float valve, and pressure valve. The pressure was 80 psi at first, but it has dropped to around 60 psi. I discarded the first 5 gallons, although the output was 0 tds. The incoming tds is 97, not too high, so Iam using 1 micron carbon and sediment filters. I just filled up my ato resivior with rodi water, it is really easy to get, I just turn the ball valve and get instant rodi water. The blue tub holds about 20 gallons, my usage about every 2 weeks. The ro membrane does 100 gpd with 96% rejection of tds, and a 4:1 water waste ratio.

I just did my first wc with rodi water (I used api conditioner in the past) and I will be on the lookout for results. It is a lot easier to get, I just turn a ball valve and water comes out ready for salt. I will update some pics, I almost lost my yellow acro to rtn, but managed to save a couple frags, and the colony base looks like it may recover. Other than that sps is doing great and growing fast, as is lps and softies. I think I might go lps dominant, Im taking a trip up to waterbury to get some frags from a local, I will post pics of those as well.

I lost a female percula today. She jumped out of the 2" gap on the back of the tank. By the time I found her probably days later, she was crispy and dry : ( on the bright side, the snowflake female has taken over and there is a lot less fighting.

I have a huge frag pack coming on tuesday, pics coming soon!

Most of the bryopsis is gone, I redid the aquascape to accomadate more corals (hint at the size of this frag pack), I lost my yellow acro but the rest of my sps is doing great, and my clam has already gained almost half an inch of shell length.

This bad boy will be hooked up this week:
That beast is a 32" tall precision marine bullet 3. The previous owner used it on a 300 gallon sps system, I have a 100 gallon mixed reef. Bottom line, the things a monster.
