Had to do it. This heat wave in the south caused my tank to reach 85 deg, so went with the DBA-075. 79 setpoint and hopefully problem solved.

Decided to diagram my whole system today. Surprised I never did this before, considering my Instrumentation Engineering background. Things to do while home during COVID.

Nice but your 5 micron carbon filter should be before your 1 micron carbon filter in your RO/DI system. Also wasn't sure but looks like you have GFCIs inside your water bins? That wouldn't be ideal. Probably just clerical errors. LOL.

Thanks. The RODI water filters are like you said, I was kind of rushing when I put that part of the diagram together and flip flopped it. No GFCI outlet aren't actually in the water, that refers to the outlet # on the power strip number that the device is plugged into. Both strips are on GFCI outlets. The reason I show (X's) on the two pumps in the RODI water bins is because I don't have I specific outlet I plug those into yet. I just plug them in as needed until I get a switch set-up.

Wanted to make my own cyphastrea skull, but wife didn’t want a skull in the tanks, so used some emarco and made a molded copy of this ceramic turtle we had. Planted a meteor shower on top and we’ll see what happens.
