New ro filter. Went from 35gpd ro to a 150gpd rodi. So that's a nice thing. Gonna need a float valve though.

or you could live dangerously and skip the float valve. I have yet to incorporate one. I'm kind of badd As$ like that. :cool:

We discovered last night that an episode of Brooklyn 99 will get us three gallons. As long as we keep to 30 minute sitcoms we're good.

Got some heavy work to do on the tank...
Get him eating.

I have a dinkins order coming. Placed last night so probably next week.
This one isn't as plump as I'd like...

Gotta get the temp down. The heater isn't set above 75 so it could be the lights. Temp was taken right under one near sundown.

And dosing figured out. Before and after.

I'll probably double down on the trace elements dosing and more regular water changes till things start looking better. Hope I win the kalk stirrer giveaway. @Projects with Sam when's the drawing?

I'm other issues, no tissue on the torches and Duncan's fussy.

Icp test came back. First five elements we're free from NY aquatics. Paid for the rest. Not sad about it.

And now I don't have to throw all of mine away perfect!
One of my threads started for some giveaway that I didn't win...

No idea how it got there. maybe my ro wasn't filtering it (but it shouldn't be in the tap should it?), maybe it's a collection error, maybe I was careless with recycling.
